You can always make a distinction between "Excel formulas" and "Hop formulas" or other wording; I don't see an issue with competing transforms to reach the same goal or even other goals. We also have user-defined Java expressions; you could write your formula in JavaScript, Groovy, or use the calculator. We also have an [external plugin](https://github.com/nadment/hop-expression) from @nadment that might at some point land on the mainline My main thing is, what if you want to create formulas to for example do IP address calculations on our INET type, what if you want to use values from inside a JSON type. It can't be added to this implementation so at some point a competing implementation will arrive. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
