Not even stack-based. Pass. Emacs calc is a million times better, anyway.

Who even uses a physical calculator?

Did you even read the bullshit it is exclusively stack based

>>1044383

This, I literally just break out Python whenever I need to calculate something

It's pretty clear that you can't into STEM.

>POSIX programs being anything except underspecified pieces of shit on the brink of uselessness

The only reason to use bc is if you are a complete Unix weenie and want bragging rights. bc doesn't even have fucking else clauses.

A calculator doesn't need else clauses.

>>1044451

<his calculator can't even solve differential equations

pathetic

>>1044451

bc isn't a calculator. It's a shitty programming language.

And here we see the Unix weenie in action, trying to make up excuses for the flaws of his software after the fact. Else clauses are bloat, don't you know, that's why they are missing. A calculator totally needs function definitions as well as while and for loops, but not else clauses, okay? Praise Unix.
