Communication—APL as a User-Oriented Programming Language

This is in reference to the article, “A Survey of Users of Corporate Planning Models,” by Mr. Naylor and Mr. Schauland, Management Science, May 1976. While I would like to compliment the authors on their excellent work, I have to disagree with them strongly when they say that: “Corporate models which have been written in scientific programming languages like FORTRAN and APL do not tend to be very user-oriented”.
