Heh...I've heard that APL is an awful language. Any examples?

I'm working on a little language (called "G" for the moment) which is 
designed for 3D graphics (basically a shader language), I'm trying to 
make it do numeric stuff as fast as possible for an interpreted 
language. It'll be nothing like Sapphire, it will be as static as 
possible and won't be OO, but the syntax will probably be fairly 
similar. I don't know any of the shading languages, but the interpreter 
will hopefully be flexible enough to handle them if a compiler is 
written.
Some assembly knowledge would probably help a lot...stack machines are 
easy, but I don't know how to write a compiler for a register based 
machine.
