APL ("A Programming Language" or somtimes
"Array Programming Language") from 1964.

Iverson was the developer so I suppose he
could :)

J (1990) mentioned earlier is a combination of
APL and FP/FL (Functional Programming, 1977;
Function Level 1989) by John Backus.

Sure you can, and write it as well, but for how
long before your eyes and head would start to
ache and your whole system communicate "don't
do it" the minute you sit down by the keyboard?
