gollark: Why NOT make a unary calculator, or a calculator which solves halting problems, or or one which only runs some sort of deranged LISP?
gollark: There are probably lots of ideas for calculators which haven't been explored much because they're "really stupid" or "mathematically impossible" or "against the laws of physics" or "entirely useless". NO MORE, I say.
