Once again, matter of opinion.  Back when IBM was in it's prime they
were partnered with Marist College in Poughkeepsie.  We used to get
their interns for summer work.  Whizes with APL couldn't do anything
with COBOL or Fortran.

Oh, and I have been doing APL for over 30 years and I have no problem
understanding it.  (Only do it for fun anymore, but still do it once
in a while.)
