Excel is "written" by many more people than javascript


GP mentioned programming in Excel. That's an advanced topic. Very few people actually program in it.

I don't count computation as programming (Sum/count/avg).


Why not? Is writing a function to calculate a fibonacci number not programming? If no, why is it the introduction to a lot of functional language tutorials?


Sure, writing a function yes.

But most people use count/max/avg prebuilts, with little to no logic. If it ain't Turing Complete, it's not programming :P
