# bc

A better basic calculator. Like the original `bc`, but with a better
prompt. Work in progress. Very incapable right now.

## What?

The idea behind `bc` is to display partial results to the right of the
cursor in yellow while we type. A little example can be found in the video
above. Minor syntactic cleanups have been developed as well (e.g. no `local`
keyword). We have infinite precision integers and 90 decimal mantissa precision
floats (similar to setting `scale` to 90).

We support all builtin functions, but have no IO (no `print`).

## TODO

- Comment parsing
- Closures that can modify the parent environment (but do away with the `local` keyword).
- Better arbitrary precision floats
