Paul et al,
Along with the APL\360 material Len Shustek put together on the CHM web
site, there is a site I maintain at CHM hosting documents, papers, books,
etc on the history and evolution of APL as well as historic APL source code
and implementations: http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/apl/
I am always looking for more material to add.
There was also a recent forum by the Bristish APL Association discussing
history and future of APL. Unfortunately not yet posted to Youtube.

Knuth stuff.
The second or third hit when I search for "Knuth" is this one:
https://computerhistory.org/blog/the-apl-programming-language-source-code/
. It's not just about APL, it actually has a downloadable copy of the
source code. And it points to an executable version, apparently a packaged
up Hercules running that code.
Nice. I'll have to give it a try.
