Qalc seems like a better calculator to me and is more stable somehow despite being written in I think C++. Not having to download a huge programming language taking up GB of space, research an ecosystem and import ten packages sounds ideal. I prefer python or R and sometimes even BC to Julia for terminal calculating anyways...

I'd let the post about qalculate be about qalculate here.

I am not sure if it is of interest to you, but from the cli, qalc's REPL is much faster to start when compared to julia

Do you put those in your startup.jl? Do you have a Startup package like some recommend for Julia 1.9+?
