Financial institutions have codebases going back decades. In some cases they are stuck with decisions made long ago. That’s just about the only place you might find APL these days.
Go to a job site and search for APL jobs to get a sense of what reality looks like in the APL world.

Often allows you to get the same work done in 1/1000th the code managed by 1/10th the staff running on 1/10th the hardware. Anyway, these things are cyclical.
