Thank you, Honza!

Esc is more than enough for me right now. v8/python on the other hand use more popular language. But as it's just simple formula, any user should figure out how to write correct formula giving some examples. I particularly like the ease to extend the language by writing UDF in host language (C++), plus, absolutely no extra steps is required to use it.

BTW, after some hours experiment, it now works exactly as I desired.

I spend some time to figure out a Esc string is an Array. Some more time to figure out instead of "String" + 100, I should use "String" + to_string(100). And to be able to use to_string, I need to call StdLib(...) as demonstrated in EscApp example. And finally, the EscValue::ToString() sandwiches output string in a pair of quotes, I need to remove them to get the String I needed.

Anyway, it only gets faster and better.

Thank you again for your help!
