Very amusing! But what about B, C, D, E, F, G, K (an APL derivative), L (several), R, S, T (a Scheme dialect) to name a few? Seriously now, APL had special keyboards with the symbols which were wondrous to behold. And indeed, J was constructed in recognition of the divine impracticality of it:
But in fact, we used to use APL with plain ASCII keyboards – worked just fine. And to be somewhat less Off Topic, the purpose of our using APL was for early research and development in computer music and synthesis software at The University of Melbourne here in Australia. APL class languages are particularly nicely suited to algorithmic music composition work. Andrew On 25/08/2015 14:28, "David Kastrup" <address@hidden on behalf of address@hidden> wrote:
