# Squiggle

Squiggle is a DSL for making probabilistic estimations. It is meant
to be a programming analogue of the [Guesstimate](https://www.getguesstimate.com/)
application.

There are several use cases for a language that represent uncertainty. Some include
writing cost effectiveness analysis, as well as doing accurate forecasting.

Squiggle is written in [Rescript](https://rescript-lang.org/) and is presented
as a website.

## Syntax
We use the [Math.js expression language](https://mathjs.org/index.html) for Squiggle.
So any expression that's available on Math.js is supported on Squiggle.

To represent uncertainty, we use a custom DSL called [DistML](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xlEC8KjchP4PL-KdSxfBJr0UZ9nVMSAlz-rjAQEinyA/edit#).
