Well, I don't want to... but I have no time nor real interest in trying to understand what he did in APL. My only issue is that he is not interested in hearing from me that nobody will take over what he did.. He won't listen ;( He thinks everything else sucks.. I tried to make him read some stuff about python for example. He said this sucked also ! lol

Consider the possibility that what your grandfather tells you might actually be true.

Just because some tech is old doesn't make it bad. People solving and writing programs in 60s and 70s were just as smart as we are, work to extract their wisdom.

And worked with limitations sufficiently strong that they had to extract every ounce of functionality out of the hardware they had at their disposal.
