Server Side Excel - starting a list

So in the post Will Python replace VBA as the inbuilt scripting language of Excel? a few days ago I listed suggestions of Python libraries for working with Excel amongst which there are libraries to create an Excel workbook on a server.

Server Side Excel has long been a controversial matter. I have worked on many systems that build workbooks from templates and source repositories. Linux does not run Excel.exe so it is a good trick if one can generate an Excel workbook server-side without actually running Excel.exe. It is worth compiling a list of alternative Server Side technologies and so as I find them I will keep a list here. Feel free to use the comments to suggest others.
