Show your Numbat programs

[sharkdp]

It would be great to get more feedback on how Numbat is being used. If you have any Numbat calculations / programs to show, I'd be very interested to see them. I think it could help move the language design forward if we see what kind of features are being used, how they are used, what kind of features are not used (and why), etc.

All kinds of programs are welcome. Everything from simple one-line expressions to larger computations. Polished or unpolished.

The numbat repository contains a lot of examples, if you are looking for inspiration.

Here is a module I made for using Numbat with GregTech, a Minecraft mod that adds some technological systems. This includes a simplified system of electric energy distribution. This was fun and easy to make, it really seems like Numbat is best in these sort of applications.

Gauntlet Application Launcher uses Numbat for quick dynamic calculator, currency conversion is also frequently used feature. It only uses one line throw away expressions that are interpreted right as they are written, so context modification between calls is not desirable. It is also a long running program, potentially multiple days or even weeks, so online features like currency exchange rates have to be refreshed regularly. The use case may not be a perfect fit for Numbat's because it prioritizes correctness of expression, where for Gauntlet the ease of writing expressions is a priority, Gauntlet does some very simple pre-processing now but in future I planed on looking into writing custom parser on top of Numbat's very solid base. There's bunch of feature requests here, which I didn't yet had time to create proper issues, but even without those Numbat has been a solid choice so far

This is so cool — thank you for sharing!

Cool. Not really the topic of this thread, but thank you for sharing 😄.

Also, please let us know if you think that Numbat can improve to better support your use cases.

Thank you for the feedback. Please feel free to file feature requests once you have the time.
