The cool thing about Excel is that it's like Function Reactive Programming. When you update the value of a cell, all the other cells that reference to it get updated too. That's pretty cool to have in GUI's as well, and Haskell has that too. See [1].

Heard that statement recently -- that Excel is a functional
programming language, and the most used one -- of any programming
languages -- on Earth!  Is it true?  Are there good examples of
typical FP style in Excel?

Cheers,
