And everything you do with a 48, you could do with a computer Smile but not with the same simplicity. The beauty of the 17B/27S language is that it is purely functional, everything is an equation, even the L() statements which have side effect. This is sheer elegance...
I'm sure everything you can do in Python, you could also do in PERL, yet, you'll have to put a gun on my head to make me program in PERL Wink
L() stands for ? Lower than?

Why did you speak about Perl ? until now it was a rather good day Big Grin ;-)
Python with a PC keyboard, yes! Not very tempted on a calculator.
(Perl, no thanks)
L() for Let, the primary statement keyword for the 17B/27S/Plus42 equation language.
I talked about Python vs. Perl as an analogy for RPN/17B equation language vs. RPL Smile
This being said, Casio, Numworks, TI and even somehow HP have wonderful interfaces for Python on a calculator: menus, code snipsets, autocompletion, syntax highlighting...
