When I was an intern at a big telecom company, there was one strange guy who wrote his function names in greek.

He wasn't greek either, but he wanted to teach greek to his son when he would grow up because there was some greek ancestry in the family.
He needed some practice with greek and found it at work.

I'm not sure if this was crazy or genius.
I'm not even sure it the limit between both is always clear.

APL is a programming language which requires either a special terminal or terminal emulator, as it uses Greek graphemes as part of the language.
