Talk:APL (programming language)
APL is renowned for ... being able to express an air traffic control system in two lines of code.

Probably, but it's not too far from the truth, and may well be literally true for some appropriate definitions of "line" and "traffic control system". It really does capture something of the flavor of the language; I'd be inclined to call it a colorful way to express that, or a rhetorical exaggeration. I don't think figures of speech like that are entirely out of place here. --LDC
APL character set
The current table doesn't do much for me, and I know I have Unicode installed. LaTeX has most, if not all, of the characters (I'm still figuring out how to get the sort function to work in LaTeX). Meanwhile, here's an APL keyboard layout image.... I'm working on permissions.
