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.
gollark: Can't.
gollark: RPNCalcV4 is kind of in the osmarkscalculator™ spirit, but more of a programming language/expression evaluator thing.
gollark: Yes.
