clementd@framapiaf.org@jarkko oh, care to elaborate? for quick computations I took the habit to just run node or python, but it's horrendous for various reasons.
A nice-to-use `bc` equivalent would be a nice improvement

@clementd e.g. using English language like syntax to "improve readability" i guess. hurts my eyes tbh looks really convoluted.
not very efficient syntax to write or e.g. embed to a shell script. it looks like from surface that there's probably a shared crate or something that "everyone' uses :-) i stick to bc for now...

@clementd actually if #speedcrunch had 1:1 terminal clone that would totally work for me. I like it and it is well thought, great desktop calculator.
I tried e.g. #numbat but it does stuff that I don't care. For instance if I proactively do not like calculator to understand any higher level concepts than number systems. For that sort of stuff I rather pick python or similar or wrap bc with a bash script that deals with that. Also fancy features that pile up are also compatibility issue with different calculator tool versions...
So most of the stuff that these promote is a con for my personal taste :-) But yeah speedcrunch is in desktop use super-nice.
