gollark: Simplification of expressions is to be done more elegantly* than in some other CASes, by just applying different rewrite rulesets repeatedly.
gollark: It's very cool, though. I implemented a good\* parser, recursive pattern matching things, efficient\*\* handling of associative and commutative operators, and the overengineered predicate system.* unary operators are not real** hahahahaha
gollark: Well, V4 isn't osmarks.
gollark: RPNCalc is basically an osmarkslisp™, except not osmarks, calculator-oriented, and stack-based.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ is a somewhat overgeneralized term rewriting system (I think this is the right term) which I am trying to hack CAS features on top of.
