Introducing Visual Scheme for Applications: Modernizing Office Solutions on t...
summary
Visual Scheme for Applications (VSA) embeds IronScheme on .NET into Excel and Microsoft 365, adding Lambda/Define/Apply/Eval functions, an editor, and a REPL so lambdas can run as spreadsheet functions, as SQLite custom functions, or as standalone scripts with full .NET library access. The system registers one-line minified lambdas, reuses the same code across Excel and SQLite, and proves REPL-driven development inside Office is practical; limitations include no class/interface creation and limited continuations on non-Windows runtimes.
