    I have fond memories of RPL on the HP48 calculators where you would give arguments as a stack, then call the function. Something like (a+b)*c could be written C A B + * Such fun!

        That’s the one. The Wikipedia article has some extensive examples, too.

        Its weird syntax prepared us well to face the horror of assembly language later on, so I have a certain fondness for it. That and I had absolutely no point of comparison at the time, haha!
