It's insanely laborious to pull in information from datasets on systems, quickly transform them to approximate the answer to a question you're trying to answer, and have a discussion around it. Some examples:

- Have restaurants in my local town started to close earlier because of worker shortages, COVID, and the chaos of the last 2 years? - Which nearby public parks are both free, open right now, and not too busy? And also will it rain soon?

The state of the art for this is probably CSV's & Excel / spreadsheet, with lots of limitations. Most datasets are hidden behind obscure API's, available only to programmers.

And then let's say you want to have this type of computational conversation while sitting around the dinner table? Forget about it
