I consider Matlab and Julia to be spiritual descendents of APL.
One thing that hurt APL in early microcomputers was that they used text

work better in really limited hardware, but some early APL
implementations were impressively frugal.

So, whence APL today?
Still lives on -- Dyalog, J, K, etc. Recently discovered the #jsoftware
channel on Freenode for APL fans.
