- [ ] Think of some way of calling bc
- [ ] Think how to integrate with squiggle.c to draw samples
- [ ] Think about how to draw a histogram from samples
+- [x] Display output more nicely, with K/M/B/T
+- [ ] Consider the following: make this into a stack-based DSL, with:
+ - Variables that can be saved to and then displayed
+ - Other types of distributions, particularly beta distributions? => But then this requires moving to bags of samples. It could still be ~instantaneous though.

+Some possible syntax for a more expressive stack-based DSL

+1B to 20B
+* 1 to 100
+/ beta(1, 2)
+=: x # content of the stack at this point saved into x
+
+1 to 10
+10 to 100
+=: y # content of the stack at this point saved into y
+
+x - 10B * y # if interpreting x and y as list of samples, you could do - and + operations as well
+```
