very limited size of programming memory

Yes, maybe 1 byte program counter? (384byte / 1.5byte/steps = 256steps).
And the memory shared between vars+stats and program area, that is the worst idea when the total memory limited. The CASIO can solve it without any problem: eg. 4000P ~500steps AND 26 vars. If you have 0 remaining program step, the 26 var is available without limitations.

Another example, where the CASIO is the winner: The TI-57LCD has 48 program steps OR 6 vars, the CASIO fx-50F has 28 steps AND 7 vars. When the number of required memory registers increase above 3, the very limited CASIO pushes down the more capable TI.
