    how does that compare to Hy besides being more domain specific and the order of operations (prefix vs suffix notation)?

      I’ve never used Hy. Does it offer any concatenative-style interaction?

          So it looks like a totally different data flow style, and (I think) geared toward writing then running programs, whereas Stacker is more for interactive stack-oriented calculator tasks.

              I’d say an important part of this calculator’s interaction model is doing something, getting a result, then doing something else to that result. That’s not too bad in the regular Python interpreter either.

              For example, in Python:

              >>> 5
              5
              >>> 4 + _
              9
              >>> 2 * _
              18
              

              In Stacker:

              >>> 5
              [5]
              >>> 4 +
              [9]
              >>> 2 *
              [18]
              

              Does Hy have something like the Python interpreter’s _?
