Democratization of Spreadsheets

A new open-source spreadsheet engine called IronCalc aims to enhance accessibility and usability for a wider range of users. Built in Rust but compatible with various programming languages, IronCalc seeks to address the need for a reliable and universally accessible spreadsheet solution, which has been a challenge despite numerous options available. The developers emphasize their mission to fill industry gaps by providing a robust engine that avoids costly licenses, account requirements, and performance issues often associated with existing products. Additionally, they plan to support community building and knowledge sharing around spreadsheet technology to drive forward innovation in the industry.
