What a novel idea!

Seriously though, Angular gives you the ability to do this in the browser, here's an example of how to implement an Excel-like spreadsheet using Angular: http://thomasstreet.com/blog/legacy/spreadsheet.html

It's not really unique to Angular is it?

No, I think the other major client-side MVC frameworks (Backbone, Ember, React) are also geared toward this reactive paradigm.

Kenny Tilton's "Cells" project (Common Lisp) implements CLOS slots that are linked to other slots and automatically update. I believe this precedes the reactive programming fad by many years.
