A Programming Language
<language> (APL) A language designed originally by Ken Iverson
at <a href="">Harvard Universitya> in 1957-1960 as a notation for the
concise expression of mathematical <a href="">algorithmsa>. It went
unnamed (or just called <a href="">Iverson's Languagea>) and
unimplemented for many years. Finally a subset, APL360, was
implemented in 1964.
APL is an <a href="">interactivea> <a href="">array-orienteda> language and
programming environment with many innovative features. It was
originally written using a non-standard <a href="">character seta>.
It is <a href="">dynamically typeda> with <a href="">dynamic scopea>. APL
introduced several functional forms but is not {purely
functional}.
<a href="">Dyadic Systemsa> <a href="">APL/Wa> is one of the languages that will be
available under <a href="">Microsofta>'s <a href="">.NETa> initative.
<a href="">ISO 8485a> is the 1989 standard defining the language.
Versions: APL360, APL SV, <a href="">Dyalog APLa>, VS APL, Sharp APL,
Sharp APL/PC, APL*PLUS, APL*PLUS/PC, APL*PLUS/PC II, MCM APL,
Honeyapple, DEC APL, Cognos {<a href="http://apl2000.com/">APL2000
(http://apl2000.com/) a>}, IBM <a href="">APL2a>.
See also <a href="">Kamin's interpretersa>.
<a href="">APLWEBa> translates <a href="">WEBa> to <a href="">APLa>.
<a href="">Dijkstraa> said that APL was a language designed to perfection
- in the wrong direction.

APL2
<language> An <a href="">APLa> extension from <a href="">IBMa> with nested <a href="">arraysa>.
["APL2 Programming: Language Reference", IBM, Aug 1984. Order
No. SH20-9227-0 ].
(1995-11-29)
Dyalog APL
<language> Arguably the current (2001) market-leading
implementation of <a href="">APLa>, from <a href="">Dyalog Limiteda>. Dyalog APL
runs under <a href="">Windows 95a>, <a href="">Windows 98a>, <a href="">Windows NTa>, and
<a href="">Windows 2000a>; and several popular <a href="">UNIXa> systems including
<a href="">Linuxa>.
Dyalog APL complies with <a href="">ISO 8485a> and has many features that
make it good for complex <a href="">GUIa> applications.
Dyalog APL was introduced in 1983 and is currently (2002) in
active development.

APL (programming language)
 logo.svg?width=120)
APL (named after the book A Programming Language) is a programming language developed in the 1960s by Kenneth E. Iverson. Its central datatype is the multidimensional array. It uses a large range of special graphic symbols to represent most functions and operators, leading to very concise code. It has been an important influence on the development of concept modeling, spreadsheets, functional programming, and computer math packages. It has also inspired several other programming languages.
Examples of use of A Programming Language
1. John Backus, the developer of Fortran, a programming language that changed how people interacted with computers, died in Ashland, Ore., at age 82.
2. Java is a programming language that can be used to create software programs that run on many different types of computers and devices, from ATMs to personal computers to cell phones.
3. In his speech to the symposium, he lauded the Squeak, a programming language that helps students learn math and science and develop a variety of higher order thinking skills.
