The world's smallest spreadsheet program

Mr. Carl Sassenrath is always a genius in coding, look this spreadsheet program:




the source code is only 70 lines!!!! He probably wrote it in 2 minutes...

Here is the source:

REBOL [
    Title: "Rebocalc"
    Date: 19-Jun-2001
    Version: 1.0.0
    File: %rebocalc.r
    Author: "Carl Sassenrath"
    Purpose: {The world's smallest spreadsheet program, but very powerful.}

    text as-is trim/auto {
        Cells can be numbers, times, money, tuples, pairs, etc.
        If a cell is not a scalar value, then it is treated as a string.
        Start formulas with the = character.   Any REBOL expression is valid.
        Remember to put spaces between each item in a formula.   Use ( ) where needed.
        Refer to cells as A1 D8 E10.   Example: =A1 + B1 * length? B8
        Example: in A1 type REBOL, in B1 type =length? a1, in C1 type =reverse copy a1
        Then: in D1 =checksum A1.   Now, change A1 to "Amazing!"
        In A2 type 1 + 2 (no =), in B2 type =A2.   Now change A2 to 3 * 4.
        Try: =(now/time) or =request-date or =checksum read rejoin [http://www. A1 ".com"]
        Computation moves from top to bottom. It is non-iterative.
    }

  1. Now there is a script that cries out for annotation. How much genius is lost to the world because the world can't understand it?
