I use "irb" whenever I need a scripting language to calculate stuff. Its basically my go-to calulator - but not as a "calculate stuff with numbers" but also "I need to explore how to mutate these data structures" kinda stuff... not sure how to explain it 🤔
But it is getting worse and worse in #nixpkgs (and "pry" doesn't even work anymore for months at this point).
What do you use as a calculator? #ruby was always my favorite for this stuff...
