When I gained access to an APL terminal in 1975 I was coming from FORTRAN punched cards on an IBM 1130 (think Apple ][ but dumber and half a room, shared by my entire college). APL blew my mind. I worked one summer as a commercial APL programmer, and we ran circles around our client's in-house FORTRAN shop.

Languages like Haskell scratch that itch now.

We're at danger of losing the patient, extraordinary measures are welcome. I for one embrace any experiment at saving APL.
