APL should be revived.

"APL is like a beautiful diamond - flawless, beautifully symmetrical." -Joel Moses

We have shit like Java, SEPPLES, and Haskell. Really? What is this BULLSHIT?

Take a moment to stare in awe at this beauty:

I just came.

one thing that is really needed for an APL like language to make a comeback is more intelligent keyboards. we have unicode now, but not a nice way to get at those characters.

you might have seen existing tech like http://www.artlebedev.com/everything/optimus/ but imagine if a keyboard was like a touchscreen that could define arbitrary keys, but wasn't flat. it could raise up keys out of the touchscreen substance, so you could get the nice tactile feel of physical keys.

if you look at the way languages are designed, they are more or less restricted to the character set stuck on our keyboards due to historical reasons.
" ' | \ / : ; , . / ? <> [] {} () - = _ + ! @ # $ % ^ & * ~

 how sweet would it be if we had easy access (easy access meaning they are directly represented on a key, not via a key chord macro or character map program) to other characters?
set operations ∀ ∈ ⊂ ...
logic ⋀ ⋁ ...
actual lambda symbol λ rather than keyword "lambda"
etc etc
