« HP Celebrates 35 Years of Handheld Calculator Innovation » [archive du 17 mars 2007], Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P., 2007 (consulté le 13 septembre 2015) : « 1987: HP-28C: First full RPL calculator: In the late 1980s, HP developed a new programming language for its new series of extremely powerful calculators. By combing elements of RPN, Lisp and Forth, HP came up with a language called RPL (or ROM-based Procedural Language). »

William C. Wickes, « RPL stands for Reverse Polish Lisp », www.hpcalc.org, 11 mars 1991 (consulté le 12 septembre 2015) : « RPL stands for Reverse Polish Lisp. In the early days of RPL development, we got tired of calling the unnamed system "the new system", and one of the development team came up with "RPL", both as a play on "RPN" which has been the loved/hated hallmark of HP calcs forever, and as an accurate indication of the derivation of the language from Forth and Lisp.
RPL was never particularly intended to be a public term; at the time of the HP Journal article (August 1987) on the HP 28C there was an attempt to create a less whimsical name--hence "ROM-based procedural language," which preserved the initials but had a more dignified sound. The development team never calls it anything but (the initials) RPL. You can choose either of the two full-word versions that you prefer. Or how about "Rich People's Language?"

« Several existing operating systems and languages were considered, but none could meet all of the design objectives. A new system was therefore developed, which merges the threaded interpretation of Forth with the functional approach of Lisp. The resulting operating system, known unofficially as RPL (for Reverse-Polish Lisp), made its first public appearance in June of 1986 in the HP-18C (en) Business Consultant calculator. »
