xllify

Excel can be used for ... what? Things like Kafka Streams and Flink are a hell of an investment for the remit of "watching some numbers, doing some arithmetic and publishing the results..". Coupled with @nats_io this is an interesting way to prototype. alexjreid.dev/posts/excel-th…

So far, I think that moving xllify from C++ to Zig has been a great move. Allocators and comptime were the primary motivators, along with cross compilation. No more Windows build machines needed! More below: xllify.com/blog/posts/zig… @ziglang #excel #spreadsheets

xllify is transitioning to zig too

Higher-order functional primitives now built into xllify! If you're an FP person, you'll find these reduce boilerplate in your functions. xllify.com/blog/posts/fun… #excel #customfunctions #luau

xllify uses Luau as a simple, fast way of Excel custom functions. Here's a quick primer on the language. Of course, using xllify.com/web or through Claude Code means you can generate functions without writing code. xllify.com/luau-cheat-she… #excel #addin #luau #lua

Why xllify uses Luau as its scripting language Luau is the scripting language behind Roblox. It sounds like a left-field choice for Excel add-ins, but the optimisations that make games fast turn out to benefit spreadsheets too. xllify.com/blog/posts/why… #excel #luau #ROBLOX

XLL add-ins are Excel's highest-performance extension mechanism, but Microsoft say they're impractical for most developers. @xllify changes that. xllify.com/blog/posts/xll… #excel #spreadsheet #luau

xllify has a standard library: a growing collection of ready-made Excel functions you can drop into any xllify add-in, no wheel reinvention required. We introduce it here: xllify.com/blog/posts/std… #excel #addin #customfunctions #luau #lua

We love @ziglang too github.com/AlexJReid/zigx…

We use Claude to power code generation in xllify. Here's how: xllify.com/blog/posts/how… #excel #ai
