I worked (full time) for thirty years in APL before starting my FoxPro career about eleven years ago.

APL'ers had two different contests -- "one-liners" where amazingly complicated problems could be solved in one line (and the winner used the fewest characters) and "broken-key problems", a special form of one-liners.

One of the unique features of APL was the ability to assign and reference a variable in the same statement; actually, to assign and reference as many as you'd like. Creating code described as "pornographic".

We described APL code as "self-encrypting".
