I have used both FORTRAN and APL (among many other languages) and I
came to the conclusion that APL is the world's only write-only
language!  The standard technique for fixing a bug in an APL program is
to rewrite the whole program ... FINDING the bug in an APL program is
much more difficult than in any other language I have used.  By the
way, has anyone ever found a way to write structured APL?
