I never felt the need to join an APL fan club, but you sure tempt me, Bakul!

Is there one, or do we need to start one? What would be the minimal entry 
qualification?

APL is the only language I learnt that to this day feels like it shifted my 
mindset much more than one notch. I didn't pay much attention to the 
functional languages, though, my university lecturers seem to feel the 
students either bought into them or didn't, they weren't going to push 
them. I never quite made recursion my own, I almost always resorted to 
translating it into stack-driven iteration. To this day.

In passing, I studied at an institution where I had to arrange for the APL 
interpreter to be installed (I was a little privileged, so I was allowed to 
do it myself) and interactive computing became more prevalent while I was 
there. APL wasn't a Computer Science subject, I became the only user of a 
poorly supported, if valiant, interpreter.
