    Grist is the evolution of spreadsheets.

    • Source code of the formula generator is at https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core/pull/345 (there's a docker image). Shout out to Alex Hall for getting this rolling.

    TLDR: Spreadsheets are the original low-code platform, but that little bit of code is still daunting. But for a spreadsheet with (1) formulas in a language with lots of training data (Python) and (2) an explicit relational structure that can be fed into a prompt, current large language models already look up to the job of taking care of the coding.
