You're right, APL is a very nice language, when you have a system that
can use the full APL character set, /and/ provides for overstrike capability
(compositing a character with another character written on top it---not the
usual concept of overstriking replacing the character underneath [think
typing on paper]). Unfortunately, I haven't seen such since about 1977.
(Such an UI could be done, but, instead, I've only seen the ASCII
equivalents used. That's not APL, as far as I'm concerned.)
Incidentally, APL was my first programming language.
