The HP calculators, (at least the HP-48) use a custom language (System RPL) together with machine language - you can actually program using this language (rather than the "end-user" language - User RPL) but HP does not support it. And for me Mathematica is more than a calculator - it is a programming language for "exact sciences" (mathematics, physics, engineering...).
