Yea, I have no doubt that there are still a handful of extremely well paid APL devs at the company I worked at then (I wasn't at morgan stanley). I was part of a project that helped put a webservice frontend in front of the app so that non-power users didn't have to use a cli to interact with the application if they didn't want to. I don't think there was any appetite or desire to engage in a re-write due to the risk involved when I was there then and I would guess they have maintained that reasoning. I have a vague recollection of some of the stories from the APL devs, one of them was the first to get APL working on a personal computer way back in the day. He carried the computer into some APL conference and demo'd it and got a massive ovation supposedly.
