I have high hopes for this area. There are a huge amount of ad-hoc problems that are today solved most easily by throwing together an Excel file, even for a very competent programmer. There is currently no faster way to manipulate and do small scale programming on data. For decision analysis and modeling, you go straight from excel to a full-blown program, without any other compelling options.A product with some interesting ideas in this area is Calca: http://calca.io/
