RE: newRPL project status
I didn't look at RPL/2, I saw its webpage a long time ago, and it seems to be a desktop console application, not really a calculator environment, so the final objective is completely different.
newRPL is not just a scripting engine, it's the whole environment, finished and installed on dedicated hardware.
That makes our project diverge from other projects quite rapidly, so we can't reuse much from anybody. Even the core of the RPL engine will be very different on a Desktop computer (with huge amounts of RAM) versus a small embedded environment.
We also had available RPL32 from David Hayden, but we couldn't use it because of similar issues: completely different memory management was required (besides the language differences).
In any case, stay tuned, we are getting close to a first alpha mini demo (accidentally very similar to what RPL/2 looks like from screenshots). Of course this demo will have nothing to do with the final user interface. It's just to release something people can play with, provide feedback and at the same time see that this project is getting serious and advancing quite rapidly.
Work on the target hardware will commence very soon, the goal would be to have an alpha demo running on real hardware published by the end of the year.

Thanks for your interest on the project.

Claudio
