Manusheel Gupta [reported in July 2008 reported in July 2008] that Dan Bricklin, co-inventor of VisiCalc (the first spreadsheet), Luke Closs, and K.S. Preeti are developing SocialCalc (a spreadsheet activity) for Sugar. This is the first Sugar activity written in JavaScript (JS) to have been integrated in the Python-based Sugar environment. They did this through XOCom, a wrapper function. The XOCom package will encourage the JS community to participate in developing software and content for Sugar.
