RPN interpreters require very little core memory. So they were popular with computers where core memory was under ten kilobytes.

But its horrible for software engineering with multiple programmers and large codebases. Lacks structures, interfaces, modules, data abstraction that you expect in a modern language. We called it the "Chinese food" of coding- ten minutes later you had nomidea what you just coded.
