==History== The language was originally named ''Organiser Programming Language'', developed by [[Psion (company)|Psion Ltd]] for the [[Psion Organiser]]. Designed by Colly Myers with the first iteration implemented by Richard Harrison and Martin Stamp. The first implementation (without graphics) was for the original Psion Organiser (now referred to as the Psion Organiser I, 1984), and it came bundled with the Science, Finance and Math [[data pack]]s. It became truly accessible as built-in software in the [[Psion Organiser II]] (1986), and the language went on to be used in the [[Psion Series 3]] and later. After Psion retired from the [[personal digital assistant]] market, a project aiming to bring OPL to Symbian came to fruition, when the fledgling Symbian Developer Program released it as [[open-source software]]. The language is now available on [[SourceForge]] in a project named ''opl-dev''. The language is currently unavailable for Symbian OS v8 and later. With the subsequent retirement of the Symbian OS, it seems unlikely OPL will be made available for later generations of Symbian devices. As of 2010, Nokia device developers were encouraged to use [[Python (programming language)|Python]] for S60 instead (See [[Python for S60]]).{{Citation needed|date=October 2013}}
