R, the language where dependency resolution is built upon thoughts and prayers.

Say what you want about Excel, but compatibility is kinda decent (ignoring locales and DNA sequences). Meanwhile, good luck replicating your R installation on another machine.

You heard about conda/containers/pixi/whatever?

PS: Excel will often fail if your system has a different default language. Like in many European countries one and a half is 1,5, not 1.5. Excel can't take it.
