Back in the day, there was talk about sending an Excel spreadsheet to an HPC cluster, such as the article, "Accelerating Excel with Microsoft HPC Pack : Building VBA Applications and Workbooks for a Microsoft HPC Pack". But now you have introduce LAMBDA functions and Dynamic arrays to give an ever more functional programming feel. If the spreadsheet was only modified to use lambda/let functions and dynamic arrays - essentially writing the spreadsheet as pure as possible, would this improve the performance and parallelization of a spreadsheet on the HPC cluster or even on the desktop? Would this be a good reason to switch to a more functional style of writing an Excel spreadsheet?
