This is an ad for "esProc SPL", a crazy programming language where you write your code, including functions, in spreadsheet (complete with "A1"-style references for globals), but view the results in the list view.

It uses binary format (so no meaningful version control), is written in Java, and is designed for GUI use. So 90's!

I wonder who is using this today and why... Probably a COBOL-like story: in some org, a lot of code was written for this in the past, and nowadays it's cheaper to keep using it rather than rewrite into something more modern.
