Re: [Haskell-cafe] Is Excel a FP language?

My opposition proposed (after some "weeding out") that there is a distinction between Excel, the application, the GUI and Excel, the language (which we eventually agreed (I think) manifested itself as a .xls file).

I say Excel is a functional language. If there needs to be the quoted distinction, fine: Excel the language is a functional language, and Excel the application is an interpreter of said language. (Does the opposition self-consistently distinguish Perl the language from perl.exe the interpreter?)
