I wonder how much people who still write these languages are paid? I feel like it is one extreme or the other. You are rolling in it or you just don't know any better.

My WAG is that they might have handcuffs of 2x mainstream, but aren't "rolling in it".

Unlike K (or the APLs in general), all these languages are pidgin algol, hence not that difficult to train.
