2) a source-compatible firmware that is simply in the spirit of the HP48, but takes full advantage of today's hardware, even if that means being unable to run anything that relies on SYSEVAL or Saturn assembly language?

3) a combo of 1 + 2, i.e. something that is modern, but still offers some backward compatibility mode or tools?

Option 2 for me, because the emulation layer of option 1 would slow down the calculator. What’s the point of a modern 48 or 50g if there is no increase of speed, and no software improvement?
