Wow, that brings back memories.

You can imagine how easy it is to do stuff like 3D graphics with APL, which 
is what I was using it for.

Actually, the language "J" (http://www.jsoftware.com/) is the next level up 
from APL, letting you write "adjectives" and "adverbs", making APL into a 
more meta kind of language closer to Haskell than Excel. Plus it uses ASCII, 
which I think is actually a drawback except from the practical POV.
