In the 90s I installed an optical CMM at an IBM plant and they had PCs with APL keyboards sitting in the clean room. I was impressed that they would use something like that in a production area, not really sure what they did with it but the keyboard looked very impressive.

I think without the special keyboard APL is a no-go these days.

Unicomp, the company who bought the rights and tools for the venerable IBM Model M keyboards, do still sell to this day both IBM Model M keyboards and sets of APL keys (!).
