I haven't written in APL professionally (other than fixing up existing code) but I have been responsible for an APL system and for its replacement.
I'm sure that writing a greenfield APL program is a lot of fun. Initially.
Or if you're just writing vignettes to do some temporary data wrangling then it's fine.
As a language for writing applications that do proper work and need maintaining? Wouldn't be in my top 50 choices of language. And I don't think I've worked with 50 languages yet.
