- The example checks account references across accounts.cell and money.cell, and flags “coffee” as a key with no match.
Field notes
The editor example uses accounts.cell for account keys and money.cell for dated EUR transactions, including a VAT column computed at 21 / 121. A sample check reports that “coffee” is not a key in the accounts file. The page says the project has a specification, a conformance suite, and a Rust engine that runs natively and as WebAssembly; DuckDB integration is listed as a next step.
