I find it easier to type and read. Does anyone really want the HP syntax, or is that used infrequently enough that manually adjusting is justified?

Still not a user, just an observer, shame on me, I don't really have a vote then, do I? :-)

Prospective users get two votes ;-)

Full compatibility was never an objective, if only because there is no plan to have a SATURN emulator, nor room to store a copy of the HP ROM, which is what you need if you want to run games or the MetaKernel or libraries using machine code.

Ping them, again and again. At some point, maybe they will change their mind.
