Filmography

Fabrice worked on many different films, formats and techniques, here is a list of the film he worked on:[6]

gollark: RPNCalcV4 is kind of in the osmarkscalculator™ spirit, but more of a programming language/expression evaluator thing.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ is basically my really overengineered/underengineered CAS/calculator, and should be feared.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ advances inevitably. Today I expanded the predicate system, so you can write horrific patterns like `1#Or[2, 3]` to specify that something must be 1, 2 or 3.
gollark: This is why we should write all the rules in formal logic, or osmarkscalculator™ language.
