I use insect almost daily ( https://github.com/sharkdp/insect ). It’s a command line calculator, not sure how well it would integrate with comint on emacs. Unit conversions built-in. I don’t know whether it has an RPN mode.

The other thing I do frequently is fire up a python3 repl for quick hits. I just did it yesterday for a complex mass file rename I couldn’t figure out how to do with shell variable replacement. With python it was easy with glob and os.rename.
