Though famously (I believe) it was HP calculators that were known for reverse-Polish notation.

That's the joke, I imagine.

RPN is Forth-like in that they're both stack based. Their 28/48/49/50G line shipped with RPL(Reverse Polish Lisp) which was heavily inspired by both Forth and Lisp. Very weird language but I always enjoyed programming those calculators.

The ancient HP41 and HP71 did have Forth interpreter ROMs available.
