Remarkable. Even has the local variable ideas and JVN's Formula
Translator (or maybe it is the other way around).
The similarity might of course be because stack languages look all alike?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHAGnU2HiJE&ab_channel=CalculatorClique .My father was an accountant and he had an Olivetti mechanical calculator. They worked like given a number into a register, then push the add
or subtract button. No way brackets come into play.
Reverse polish is simply the natural way to design calculators.
Unfortunately scientists/engineers have to work with much more complex formulas[..]
than accountants. Converting such formulas to RPN is error-prone.
Anyhow I guess that Excel is now the most used calculator for everybody.
