      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 _?
