RPN calculator mode

[jxpx777]

I like the calculator module, but I like RPN/stacking notation as its more expressive and concise than standard notation with its reliance on parentheses for order of operations. Any thoughts on providing RPN support in the calculator feature?

It's unlikely that this will make it into Alfred by default, but this could be an interesting project for somebody to do as a workflow

I realize this is an ancient thread, but I just came across this https://www.roguelazer.com/2014/04/alfred-plus-dc/. It uses the built in dc command and works great. Unlike using dc on the command line, you see the top of stack (the current answer) immediately, which makes it so much easier to use. 

 

(dfay's is workflow is probably great too, but it relies on a python library that is "incompatible with macOS Sierra+". Looks like there is a way to update the python lib.)
