Happy Pi Day! The Wallis product is a 371-year-old formula that computes pi by multiplying fractions forever. I ran it on a C64 in BASIC, assembly, Python, and C. The C64 took 15 minutes for five digits. C got 8 in 0.87 seconds on a Mac M4. Eat some Pi and compute at 1MHz today! https://imapenguin.com/2026/03/the-wallis-product-for-pi-on-the-c64/
