kalk VS calc

There's also https://kalker.xyz. Not as powerful, but convenient syntax

I have been waiting for an alternative to rug for kalker for a long time now. I think this might be it soon.

For simple use-cases, I made a program called kalker which handles syntax like f(x) = 2ax(x + 2)(a - sqrt2) with syntax highlighting in the REPL and auto completion to mathematical symbols. In many cases you can write math like you would write it on paper. Right now I'm about to release support for vectors, matrices and numerical root-finding.

http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc/index.html not sure why you chose exactly the same name as the original calc. Even if you plan to create a drop in replacement. It's not good practise to use exactly the same name than another active project in the same problem domain

my benchmarks againts qalc and c-calc shows that c-calc takes about 0.8ms mean to run a calculation,qalc takes about 96.4ms to run a calculation,and mine takes 0.5ms to run a calculation, of course this is pretty much just the startup time however i cant measure the runtime speed againts c-calc because it does not allow multiple arguments like mine does.

I like calc myself, works quite well. Doesn't have e preloaded as a constant, to my knowledge at least, but otherwise it is very good.

calc: a command line calculator with arbitrary precision. GNU bc is good too, but calc has more built-in commands (combinatorial, number theory functions for example). You can use it interactively, or simply to provide the results of a calculation. Try this: in your terminal, enter

There's also another calc: https://github.com/lcn2/calc
