Are the members of the HP Prime team doing well?

Cyrille mentioned this would have security implications because of exam mode, but I would argue that the I/O port could be firmly closed with exam mode activated, preventing any 3rd party code running on the calc.
Of course I'm hoping HP continue to support the Prime into the future and release Python and other goodies but having the I/O port would open the way to adding things like Fourier Transform and other code where the licensing prevents it being integrated into the firmware.

I'm not quite sure what you're referring at on the NumWorks. There's no particular I/O port for running external code, you just flash a firmware that runs your code. Omega has support for external apps, which are just files held in external flash that you jump into. [..]

I was referring to the readme on Github for external Omega apps which describes:
"The base firmware image is a fork of https://github.com/numworks/epsilon including the "external" application and an API for accessing base functionality of epsilon"
https://github.com/zardam/nw-external-apps
This external application and API for accessing base functionality of the firmware seemed like it could be described as I/O, given that an API is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other.
But I'm new to using the N110 having just got mine from santa
