Very true, and the same applies to org tables (i. e. being able to use
version control).
And, as an aside, I love APL! I just recognise the challenges of
sharing APL codes. But, to be fair, it's been decades since I last used
APL (or J).
Also, I do use org tables quite extensively as spreadsheets but I'm also
careful to avoid making them inscrutable to all (including me). As soon
as a table starts getting too complex, I move the coding to a src block
with the table as input (and maybe another table as output).
