DC

<language, tool>

The Unix arbitrary precision postfix calculator and its language.

Here is an example program which prints out factorials: 

 echo "[la1+dsa*pla2220>y]sy0sa1lyx" | dc
Unix manual page: dc(1).

bc provides a somewhat more readable syntax which is compiled into dc. There is also a GNU DC.
