I still have my copy of "APL An Interactive Approach" by Gilman/Rose 1974.
I did APL on a Vector Graphics terminal with that great keyboard of all the

Curiously, met some APL developers at XML Summer School when I went a few

During my IBM new-hire orientation they asked how many of us had written
one-line APL chess programs. About 4 people out of the 100 or so in the
room raised their hands.
