I am a software developer, but all the non technical staff, particularly one manager, insist on doing things in excel, despite all the problems it causes. If I can use Clojure to connect to a REST API, that will solve a ton of problems related to data validation. (I don't know if I can do that, but I am going to give it a try).
It can connect to REST apis etc, there's an http client included. I'll update the documentation this weekend into a proper github wiki to make things clearer.
