A programming language


language
(apl) a programming language designed originally by ken iverson at harvard university in 1957-1960 as a notation for the concise expression of mathematical algorithms. it went unnamed (or just called iverson’s language) and unimplemented for many years. finally a subset, apl\360, was implemented in 1964.
apl is an interactive array-oriented language and programming environment with many innovative features. it was originally written using a non-standard character set. it is dynamically typed with dynamic scope. apl introduced several functional forms but is not purely functional.
dyalog apl/w and visual apl are recognized .net languages.
dyalog apl/w, aplx and apl2000 all offer object-oriented extensions to the language.
