Personally I am bilingual in that respect but see RPN a bit like Latin which I had to study at school. A very logical language and the basis for many modern languages, but otherwise pretty much defunct.

I don't know about defunct. Was it ever funct in the first place? Compilers still use it to parse and compute expressions so even if end users don't see it, it's being used every day in hundreds of millions of machines.
