Here are some links to Carl Sassenrath World's smallest spreadsheet program he wrote back in 2001 using Rebol (under 100 lines):

* Announcement on Rebol mailing list - http://www.rebol.org/ml-display-thread.r?m=rmlNHPK

* Code (Rebol script library) - http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=rebocalc.r

* Code (in Gist for nicer syntax highlighting) - https://gist.github.com/draegtun/7454495

* Recent blog post with screen image - http://rebol2.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/the-worlds-smallest-spr...



Level in the header is beginner. In 2001. Download Rebol/View, the source in the gist link. Run Rebol, click console. pwd, ls, cd to the place you put the gist code. type "do %whateveryounamedthesource". Smaller than a browser i would guess.


>Smaller than a browser i would guess

You can amend max-x & max-y variables in the script to change spreadsheet size to make bigger.

For others...

The Rebol 2 binaries to run this spreadsheet script can be found here - http://www.rebol.com/download-view.html

And from the shell/command line you can also run the script straight off the internet like so:

  ./rebol http://www.rebol.org/download-a-script.r?script-name=rebocalc.r
The spreadsheet is simple to use (beginner level) but surprisingly very powerful (Rebol types, expressions & functions are available).
