One Friday night last month I wrote this simple scientific calculator program. Though flawed, its interaction model is sufficiently fluent that I’ve found myself using it from time to time since then. It features APL-like broadcasting and aggregate operations, RPN interaction, and infix formula output. It’s available at http://canonical.org/~kragen/sw/dev3/calc.py.

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/391001 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
