Comment on Ask HN: What would Excel's formula language look like if you invented it today?parent

Comments

As an extensive user of named cells, one problem I have encountered with named cells is that copying-and-pasting to run a parallel scenario often results in a mess up -- cells in the copy inadvertently referring to the old cells, etc.

What would help is some sort of object-oriented programming with the named cells as opposed to the named cells behaving like global variables.
