Programmers continue to discover and re-discover APL and array-oriented programming.
If someone is serious about array programming/APL and wants to make a lucrative career in it, study KDB+/Q/K. There's a small but active community around them.
Just to relate an anecdote: I used to be a fairly active KDB+ programmer in finance but left both finance and programming ~8 years ago. Just yesterday, I got an email from my friend who's building a statarb fund around cryptocurrencies. They were going to use KDB+ and offered me a job for "300-500k base with incentives"...
My friends clearly don't know that I now work in sales & marketing :D
Aside: Roger Hui, the creator of J, is a programming sibling of Arthur Whitney, the creator of K/Q and the founder of www.kx.com
