# 📚 IronCalc
IronCalc is a new, modern, work-in-progress spreadsheet engine and set of tools to work with spreadsheets in diverse settings.
This repository contains the main engine and the xlsx reader and writer.
Programmed in Rust, you will be able to use it from a variety of programming languages like Python, JavaScript (wasm), nodejs and possibly R, Julia or Go.
We will build different _skins_: in the terminal, as a desktop application or use it in you own web application.

# 📝 ROADMAP
> [!WARNING]
> This is work-in-progress. IronCalc in developed in the open. Expect things to be broken and change quickly until version 0.5
Major milestones:
* MVP, version 0.5.0: We intend to have a working version by mid January 2024 (version 0.5, MVP)
* Stable, version 1.0.0 will come later in December 2024
MVP stands for _Minimum Viable Product_

UI features of the web application (backed by the engine):
* Enter values and formulas. Browse mode
* Italics, bold, underline, horizontal alignment
* Number formatting
* Add/remove/rename sheets
