Yes, newRPL, hpgcc 2.0 and hpgcc3 as well.

You can go back and forth freely between newRPL and the stock firmware in a matter of 2 minutes (time it takes to flash the firmware and recover your last backup).
No calculators have ever been bricked by newRPL, since it uses the standard bootloader that comes with your calc from the factory. That guarantees you'll always be able to recover.
Same thing applies if you decide to install an hpgcc3 ROM to program in C. My calc has had hpgcc3 in ROM since 2006, you don't know it's there until you run a C program.

In this forum you'll find the right people to help you along the way with each of those languages, so stick around and enjoy your new calculator.
