When you watch Sussman and Steele give the MIT 6001 course the audience are seasoned HP calculator guys and gals
These must be the team who were designing the HP-28S and user rpl - the beautiful love child of Forth and Lisp.
And what a calculator they put out!
- whartung 5y agoRPL is just magic. It's really fun to work with. It's hard to appreciate what you're holding in your hand when you have one of these machines. When I learned the 48s had both Kermit and a serial port, the clouds parted and the sun came out. Really extraordinary capability in a $99 calculator. Always liked the form factor of the 28s, just needed a way to get code on and off (besides the printer port) of them.
