Reverse Polish notation separates the men from the boys. I've got a HP

comedy routine. For extra sadism, leave it in hex mode.

APL a programming language, as such, though.

A company I worked for bought an IBM 5120 computer, which in no way
should be confused with a 5160 (IBM XT)

It came with BASIC and APL ROMs and the keyboard had the APL character
set. It also had BRADS, a sort of ******* stepchild of RPG. IBM referred
to the PALM CPU as a microprocessor but in IBM speak that meant it ran
microcode rather than what everyone else meant by the term. There was an
assembler of sorts that was handy. Their idea of 'locking' a source file
was setting the first byte on the disk to 0x80, iirc.
