But I'll give a shout out for RPN keystroke programming because it's so easy to learn, so easy to teach and so easy to use on a calculator. The big drawback is that it's so hard to read, at least for me. We're all used to infix notation so it's hard to understand an expression in RPN's post-fix.

RPL is a great combination of power in a language whose implementation is light weight.

HPPPL is a Real Language.

Agreed, just wondering if "real language" is best suited for a pocket calculator.
I always thought calculator language should facilitate quick small tasks and RPN and RPL did it. Actually in the past they did a lot more, these times are now gone.
I personally can't think of real life reason learning yet another "real language".
