It may be interesting for people exploring non-conservative programming paradigsms. APL is very interesting (and different) language, but it's heavy use of unicode symbols is off-putting for most people. That's the reason why J and ELI exist, they both attempt to make the language more accessible by restricting themselves to ASCII character set.
