In one of the simulation classes I teach, I try to convey the same
message. :-)
In a past life, I had to extend applications that used Excel as a
front-end with a combination of interlinked functions in spreadsheet
cells plus plenty of Visual Basic with a few compiled dlls rolled into
the mix. The dlls (which I wrote in fortran) were the only components
for which I had any confidence.
Fun times! ;-)
