gollark: RPNCalc 3. It's not *great* but kind of works.

gollark: Actually, I managed kind of partially applied postfix notation.

gollark: ```haskells x k = k (\x y z -> x y y (z y x)) x unsafePerformIO```

gollark: Haskell's nicer though:```haskells :: t1 -> (((t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t2 -> (t2 -> (t2 -> t2 -> t3 -> t4) -> t3) -> t4) -> t1 -> (IO a -> a) -> t5) -> t5s x k = k z x unsafePerformIO```

gollark: Z expressions or whatever allow for only indent-based handling, actually.
