There are a bunch of free APLs around, but they're not too well-supported
or easy to find.  You should check out J at http://www.jsoftware.com
instead.  J is the contemporary descendent of APL.

For interesting glimpses at a whole range of lesser-known languages and
programming models, look at the International Conference on Functional
Programming (ICFP) annual contests.  ICFP has sponsored a programming
contest each of the last couple years: they propose a problem (decidedly
non-trivial ones), teams have a couple of days to submit solutions.  Best
performer wins.  The ICFP is naturally oriented towards functional
languages, but the contest is open to anything you care to write in. 
Prizes have been awarded for solutions in J, ML, Haskell, Dylan... There's
a different web site for each year's contest, but if you just search for
"icfp contest 1998", 1999, and so on, you'll find it.
