Funny, that came up in a conversation yesterday when I told another
programmer about APL. That required digraphs on most keyboards and I
mentioned trigraphs. He asked what you'd use those for and when I said
emacs, he shuddered.

One CS professor at my university called APL TPL (THE programming
language). He also hosted weekly gatherings at the campus pub, which
were dubbed APL (alcoholic programmers league). It was interesting to
read comments on his obituary page regarding APL
