      Not directly related, but do you use an actual APL keyboard or use something with an APL input method, like emacs?

        I actually do have apl printed Keycaps because they’re cool :D

        Given enough time most people develop a memory. There are different methods of entry, separate layers, backtick input, other macros.

        You can try it here https://tryapl.org/

        They have some shortcuts in lieu of a full keymap.

      Oh that’s cool. That’s one of those languages I saw myself working in when I was younger - it’s a powerful language for mathematical stuff, and not terribly difficult.

      Felt more like creating circuitry to do software stuff rather than programming.

      Hell. I’ll echo that but for senor operations types. Your who im looking for if you can function in 3+ different operating systems, understand (and can implement) dnssec, and design gitops workflows. Bonus points if you can explain SMTP to me.

      APL, now thats something I havent heard about in a while.

      Similar issues at work with COBOL. Sure I know it but im literally working to get everything out of it.
