   APL is a language that's far too cryptic.   
   It's very difficult to work out from code precisely what   
   the writer intended.  Hence it's diffucult for someone else to debug.   
   It's often jokingly referred to as "write once and throw away".   
   [It was too hard to stick all those little labels on the keycaps.   
   Reading APL isn't too hard if you know how to look for idioms, but   
   it takes a while to learn. -John]
