Try this:


#version 3.7;


// Calculate the angle from vA to vB in 2D

#macro Angle2D(vA, vB)

    #local AngleA = atan2(vA.v, vA.u);
    #local AngleB = atan2(vB.v, vB.u);
    #local dAngle = AngleB - AngleA;

    degrees(dAngle)  // For result from -180 to +180 degrees
    // degrees(mod(dAngle + 2*pi, 2*pi))  // For result from 0 to +360 degrees

#end // macro Angle2D


#declare v0 = <-2, 3>;
#declare v1 = <3, 2>;


#debug "\n"
#debug "\n"
#debug str(Angle2D(v0, v1), 0, 12)

#debug "\n"
#debug "\n"

#error "To stop render window from opening"


NB! I have only tested this lightly.
