HP 50g Programming Methods???

[Carsen]

Thank you for the detailed explaination DavidM. I understand most of it. I'm not scared of learning it but right now, I see no use for Assembly in my applications. I am content with the increase of speed going from UserRPL to SysRPL. I believe SysRPL is as far as I should go, after learning UserRPL no less.

This chart is so cool! It's fun to see how programming the HP 50g with different methods makes it one of the fastest - even compared to the Prime! I like seeing how the speed went from 22.6 seconds to 2.32 seconds just from changing from UserRPL to SysRPL.

I also learned that NewRPL is created using Assembly Language (the ARM version) in a video. It's a great example to see what Assembly can do in my opinion. Of course, I don't aspire to don a project THAT massive.
