As far as I know with additional libraries you can run C, using HPGCC or with another firmware you have a different RPL, newRPL.

Additionally I remember that there was also a Lua port of sort (unstable) https://sourceforge.net/projects/hplua/ .

Then there is the HRAST basic https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-3774.html

There may be others (my memory is not recalling anything else). This to say that the 50g can understand something else if there are libraries for it. Any other capable computing system is similar, in the way that it needs libraries/programs to understand other languages (and yes everyone knows that at the end of the chain all of it will be some sort of assembly code for ARM on the HP 50g).

I still stick with userRPL most of the time because, although slow to execute, it is relatively fast and accomodating to develop. I check the results only every now and then (days pass in between), thus the computation is mostly finished by the time I check it. Plus many have left some snippets here and there that I try to collect here to form an organic library that is missing ( https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-10271.html additions are welcomed). Those libraries are somewhat missing for other languages.
