      I like this sentence from the paper linked at the end of the article:

      We show how to implement arithmetic […] that is correct, even by the standards of naive users.

          I am always deeply enthralled when math and comp-sci unite to yield an elegant result, where my definition of elegance is: efficient + minimal.

            None of the people involved ever said nor thought it.

              I never thought that either. It's a joke, relax.

                I was asking my friend if they want to do code a calculator with me then I realized it's much harder than it looks.

                  I had tried to build one one time and got the ui down. As I started building the more complex arithmatic (chaining calculations) i realized how insanely complex it actually is. It made me realize how complex the most simple looking apps actually are.
