A comment on GNU APL 1.8.

Googling for APL examples is now complicated by Amazon squatting on the same acronym for "Alexa Presentation Language". That's frustrating, as I'm interested in understanding APL a bit better, but I learn from looking at and tinkering with code that does things I already kinda understand how to do in other languages/paradigms.

But, I did find APL Wiki which has a lot of good examples of code that does small comprehensible things. https://aplwiki.com/FrontPage

I'd give "-alexa -amazon -presentation" a shot; see if that helps. Also maybe add "-site:amazon.com" or "-site:*.amazon.com" (pretty sure that one works).

Another AWS friendly word is Lambda. Even more annoying is they have bindings for a dozen languages. So you need "Java lambda" and you get "Java AWS Lambda". I need like a law library for code, one that remembers longer than 2013.
