If Axe was ported, it would be different in the way we currently know Axe.

For example, the PRIZM lacks the Output command. It's called Locate, so the Axe syntax would be a bit different than on TI calcs.

The Prizm is very different internally than the TI-84+. For one thing, there's the whole issue of memory. There aren't any areas of "SafeRAM" on the Prizm. Every piece of memory you need you have to ask the OS for.  Secondly, the hardware is different. You can't just do "Full" to speed the calc up. It's rather complicated and dangerous to do it from where programs are usually launched, besides costing a massive 4 milliseconds to switch (unless you don't mind a few thousand clock cycles of completely unreliable memory reads :D). There are some other differences, but what it comes down to is that any such language would essentially be C with prettier syntax. Ironically, that's kind of what Axe is.

And graphing takes a while on Casio calcs, well actually I'm not sure about the Prizm itself, but on older models it does, compared to the TI-84 family.

I tried drawing a simple sin(x) graph on my 1.03 fx-CG10 and 2.43 84+SE, and the Prizm was faster. Anyway, graphing has a lot to do with how the math part of the OS is written, unlike most kinds of programming.

I have a CFX-9850, and graphing usually took a while. I haven't really tried a Prizm, or emulated one yet.
