Is squiggle built totally different from guesstimate? I could imagine a world where there’s a guesstimate-like-intermediate layer that’s designed to be more flexible.
Mostly. The core math bits of Guesstimate were a fairly thin layer on Math.js. Squiggle has replaced much of the MathJS reliance with custom code (custom interpreter + parser, extra distribution functionality).
If things go well, I think it would make sense to later bring Squiggle in as the main language for Guesstimate models. This would be a breaking change, and quite a bit of work, but would make Guesstimate much more powerful.
