Hi,

Let's see:

• I've written several hundred RPN programs for various HP calculators (HP-25, HP-34C, HP-67/97, HP-41C, all Voyagers [HP-10C, 11C, 12C, 15C, 16C], HP42S, HP35s, ...), from simple routines to very long, complex programs (the vast majority actually, 90% of them unpublished).
• I've written some 100+ BASIC programs for various Sharp, Casio, and Tandy Pocket Computers (95% of them unpublished)
• I've written some 200+ BASIC programs for the HP-71B (again mostly unpublished)
• I've written about a dozen or so programs in assorted languages for various not-so-common calculators (all of them unpublished)
  

That said, my preferred calculator language by far and above all is HP-71B BASIC, which is the one I still use to this day for nearly every computation that goes my way, be it concocting a simple fun challenge, solving some mathematical problem I've just learned about, exploring a new topic, or even for professional use.

The advantages for me are so overwhelming over anything else that it's a no contest as far as I'm concerned. HP-71B BASIC it is.

Regards.
