The twisty maze of parens I never understand. (And the fact that TI won is probably, imho, only vaguely to syntax, kids barely use calcs anyway, and I'd argue that if you'd show them RPL immense programming surface, lists, vectors, lambdas, they'd use it more than the usual fix function graphing calc)
I never had a chance to see proper CASE tools, my education started in 2000.. java/uml took the light and the few environments I saw were very very subpar (post IBM, eclipse based, rational suite).
The grammar composition is still a big open problem, I think Lawrence Tratt tried to attack it (maybe this https://soft-dev.org/pubs/pdf/diekmann_tratt__parsing_composed_grammars_with_language_boxes.pdf https://soft-dev.org/pubs/pdf/diekmann_tratt__parsing_compos... ?) but concluded it was still fragile/difficult.
