RE: Which calculators run RPL under the hood?
Hello,

First, I LOVE blade runner, thanks for the clip!

Second, yes, these "lower end" calculators are in pure saturn ASM...
They share a LOT with the RPN calculators, including the interrupt kernel, the math library... but the UI is all in ASM instead of in RPN...

I assume that the 2 main reasons are memory constraints (RPN is much more resource intensive) and speed (RPN is not that fast)...

BTW, the current 17BII+ is 100% fully rewritten in C, there is no RPN behind there...

Although I work for the HP calculator group, the views and opinions I post here are my own. I do not speak for HP.
