        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 _?
