I'm in love

[Helge Gabert]

In defense of the Prime, I have to say that I like it more and more. It is different from my RPN/RPL calculators, but the Prime Programming Language is complete, powerful, and fast (maybe only lacking compiled local variables).

The CAS is well thought out, with a (mostly) unifying syntax, and rich command set. Calculations on the home screen keep the CAS at arm's length - - which at first I first didn't like, but now I see the advantages of that, and they can be performed in RPN (although I don't see a reason for that any more, given how easy it is to grab objects from the history).

Bugs are slowly but surely being taken care of. The development team appears to listen to suggestions - - the November 2013 update made the system much more stable. It would be nice if the "Get from Home/Get from CAS" menu could automatically convert the uppercase variables to lowercase (and vice versa).
