I doubt it.  I have a quandry in my work.  I'm the only one here who knows
APL, so anything that can possibly be done in PC-type modelling environments
gets done there.  The really hard stuff gets done in APL.

I've heard that the broadcast news services and pollsters were all using
APL based software to analyze election and poll results this year.  Sounds
like an ideal application to me.
