I'm seeing a lot more APL-related submissions in the past few months. What's going on?

One APL-related submission reminds people on HN of the existence of the language. Others begin reading about it, some even try it, and a few of them post subsequent links on HN. Repeat.

There is always a place for APL on Hacker News! But the last couple days have seen a number of follow-up posts on the front page.

I was initially fascinated by the Dyalog YouTube video where the guy codes Conway's Life in APL.[1] It have certainly never witnessed such programming before.

People got enough of AbstractSingletonProxyFactoryBeans? I am picking on Java because I work with it the most. Anyways, I guess simplicity, terseness and conciseness are getting more popular.
