I don't use spreadsheets much anymore, and I end up just writing scripts for everything I would use Excel for. This isn't a brag, in fact it's sort of the opposite; I often miss the simplicity of Excel and I think for a lot of my scripts I would save time if I did them in in a spreadsheet.

One of these days, I should probably go through a tutorial series for LibreOffice and Star BASIC and properly learn it.

Anything ‘real’ I’ll do in R, but my wife is not super keen on that where we’re collaborating on something!

I'm not keen on R even at the best of times :)

If I need to do any kind of number crunchy stuff I usually use Julia right now. I really like Julia, it's a very cool language and platform, but for small things it's kind of overkill. I should really learn how to properly use LibreOffice.

We all have our vices! (It's what I learned first, and feel most confident in).

This has been a nice interaction which is increasingly rare online, thanks.
