If you would like to re/experience APL, four classic implementations are
available on five machines running at the Nostalgic Computing Center
<http://www.nostalgiccomputing.org>:
- APL 2 (aka APLUM) on the CDC Cyber 865 and Cyber 175 NOS 2 systems
- APLSF on the PDP-10 TOPS-20 system
- APL-11 on the PDP-11 RSX-11M-Plus system
- APL/Z on the Z80 CP/M system
The NCC is also planning to install APL\360 on its IBM 4381 VM/CMS system,
per instructions recently posted on the Hercules forum.
cheers,
Kevin

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.
