    I’ve never tried APL, but I recall a moment about 20 years ago when I was helping a colleague clear out an old storage room, and we found a box of APL keyboards. I boggled at the keytops, not a clue what they were, and my friend enlightened me, then said,
    “There are two things in life to do, when all is said and done,
    Write six lines of APL, and make the buggers run.”
