I Personally *really* feel the charme of APL and J, and I have the 
greatest admiration for Dr. Iverson's creations, but in my everyday 
choices I'll never go back to non-opensource languages for anything 
critical, even if this means non optimal solutions.

The lack of a good, complete, cross-platform version  of APL (and the 
like), open source and working on as many platforms as possible is what 
blocks me from the final jump on to this otherwise beautiful wagon ....

My two cents, only.
