DEC Alpha had the weakest memory model, which while cool to write for with its all memory barriers/concurrency - it's quite annoying to work with in the real world, a major reason while DEC failed.

"ł" is the lower case of "Ł". It's not pronounced L, though. Writing-wise, it is there. Else, the Italians, French and the like don't appear to be using Roman, either.
