I don't know exactly what you mean by "a troll".
You mentioned "APL has been".
I discovered that there is a current APL standard
ISO/IEC 13751 Extended APL
A commercial version of APL is available but costs a lot of money. However, it is free for students
http://www.microapl.co.uk/apl/
I also discovered that there is a company jsoftware, which has a version based on these standards
http://www.jsoftware.com/
A quick look it suggests it is a free download. I haven't tried it.
I am not sure how many institutions use Euphoria
The following are a few of the corporate and academic institutions that use J:
Cognos · Bayesian Enhanced Strategic Trading · Fax Focus, Inc. · Hewlett Packard · Intel · Korea Telecom · Luen Thai · Maple Partners · Microsoft · Niagara Mohawk Power · Nikko Securities · Novell · Okada Denki Co. Ltd. · Pivotal Technologies · Syngenesis, Inc.
Duke University · Harvard School of Public Health · Keio University · Lafayette College · Penn State University · Rochester Institute of Technology · Thompson Rivers University · Trinity University · University of Alberta · UCLA · University of Florida · University of Haifa · University of Houston · University of Iowa · University of Massachusetts (Amherst) · University of Wisconsin
There is conference on 24th July, 2012 in Toronto on J software - if costs $1200 to attend.
There is also a long standing statistical package written in APL called SPSS by IBM. It looks to me like a very sophisticated statistics package

There is at totally free version of APL called NARS APL, which is said to be fully compliant of the ISO/IEC 13751 Extended APL standards. You can download and use it on your desktop and test out whatever you want to test. There is a Editor too. It is a Windows software

Even if you can't create the APL symbols you can still use it comfortably.
I am currently working on an application and trying to use wxEuphoria, and till yesterday, I had good help from some people here. I thought I had made a deep math related comment, which has a large amount of discussion on the Internet from math and computing experts.
Thanks for your sarcasm that lead me to discover all the above on APL, and I will now try and look at APL to see if I can do my project in that language.
