Excel sheet for Julia app?

Question

I have been using Julia-Lang in the last 2 years for it's simplicity and high performance on scientific calculations. Besides the many ways to communicate with Julia, now I'm wondering about a possibility to use MS-Excel sheets as user interface for Julia apps. I think in this way user can simply enters inputs in Excel cells and see results over there, also by the way creating visual elements of custom style using already familiar environment of office will be straightforward. I am curious what facilities there are for linking Excel sheets with Julia.

So:

• What facilities are out there for linking MS-Excel or general speaking VBA and Julia?
