My HP Prime G2 review.

- the full implementation of the Giac CAS, e.g. the variable precision floating numbers
- the possibility to program it in Julia (I think it is preferable to Python as more readable and powerful)
- the possibility to program it in assembler or in RPL.

Julia is a nice language but Python is widely known and more importantly is the official language of the French computer science curriculum.

I don't think that assembler is necessary or desirable on an ARM-based calculator. OTOH, if Claudio can get NewRPL to run on Prime hardware that would be a good thing. HP certainly has no interest in continuing RPL development.

I do strongly concur with arbitrary precision floating point, that would be a major improvement, along with removing artificial limitations on list and array sizes.
