Comparison of spreadsheet software
Spreadsheet is a class of application software design to analyze tabular data called "worksheets". A collection of worksheets is called a "workbook". Online spreadsheets do not depend on a particular operating system but require a standards-compliant web browser instead. One of the incentives for the creation of online spreadsheets was offering worksheet sharing and public sharing or workbooks as part of their features which enables collaboration between multiple users. Some on-line spreadsheets provide remote data update, allowing data values to be extracted from other users' spreadsheets even though they may be inactive at the time.

gollark: Process management stuff got enhanced isolation after a spate of bugs relating to that, so it's *probably* okay now, but there are still problems, inevitably.
gollark: Also, some stuff was deliberately not isolated to the extent it should have been for security - mostly the process management, but possibly some filesystem IO.
gollark: Specifically, it relies on quirkiness in some aspects of Lua to work, but the quirks have more nested quirks attached which have problems.
gollark: Unfortunately, the sandboxing design has always been kind of flaky and inconsistent.
gollark: It incorporates a state-of-the-art-as-of-2018-or-so sandbox designed to stop unprivileged user code from being able to overwrite core OS files, ever.
