Top three calculators ?

In my experience it is almost impossible to write unreadable code in a language like FORTRAN. Of course, if you call all your variables VAR001 to VAR999 (real FORTRAN only knows 6 character uppercase designators for variables and functions/subroutines) and your subroutines SUB001 to SUB999 it can be a bit difficult to read... But most programmers don't do that and include the occasional comment. Not so in RPL on a machine like an HP-28C where there is hardly enough memory for the code so that there are ususlly no comments and varaible names are not telling one much either.

NB: I am still looking for a pocket calculator with a FORTRAN compiler... this will instantly become my all-time favorite.
