I made CragCLI for my own fun.

I think you may like it if:

  - You are a command line user, perhaps a software developer, a data scientist or an IT savvy engineer.

  - You are a numerate person, who likes to know the numbers behind what you see.

  - You often reach for a calculator. You are comfortable driving a scientific calculator. Maybe you already use another command line calculator like bc.
CragCLI provides both a direct command and an interactive mode via a REPL.
