Because I am interested in mathematics and computer science, I always wanted a spreadsheet that can calculate with more than numbers. And if I use numbers, I want many digits. So I made a spreadsheet that uses Lisp as a language for the cell formulas. I think it's fun to use.
Please look at the "Introduction" presentation that I uploaded below for example use cases.
Calc.jar
JavaA spreadsheet that uses Lisp. Needs Java 11. Start with java -jar Calc.jar on the command line.
No preview (download only).
Example Spreadsheet 1
LispThis spreadsheet calculates 500 digits of Pi with the spigot algorithm of Stanley Rabinowitz and Stan Wagon. Open the sheet with Calc. Wait until the calculation is finished. Then double click cell A1 to see the digits of Pi.

(setq s (+ s p p))
(setq p (* p (+ i 1) (/ (+ i i 3)))))))
(assert "ten digits of pi"

Example Spreadsheet 2
LispThe spreadsheet contains the module for turtle graphics. The module is used to draw a dragon curve. Open the sheet with Calc. Double click cell B1 after the calculation is finished to see the curve.
