  Probably you should first consider that our browsers contain a fully capable programming system which this golfed program abuses as an expression evaluator. :-) By comparison, this C program [1] (hints are at [2]) is a stripped down spreadsheet program for X, and it only has an RPN evaluator (probably to make a room for graphing features?).

    Hilariously Chrome offers to pass the c code through Google Translate (with predictably useless results)

      Language detection works on language trigrams, and are trained on human language. I bet punctuation is stripped during preprocessing. So it's not surprising that code will have false positives.

        Not surprising, but still funny when applied to obfuscated code.

      Amusingly it detects that the code for the RPN calculator is in Polish. Maybe it's smarter than it seems.
