SQL Frames provides the ability to create calculated fields by writing JavaScript code. I deliberated whether to provide a much simpler formula authoring system like Excel keeping in mind the goal of providing a low-code platform but in the end it was decided to not have any proprietary scripting language that someone has to learn and instead just rely on JavaScript which is already one of the most popular languages. This meant, the need for a simple online IDE that allows authoring JavaScript.
