I suggest checking out GNU APL. There are relatively few libraries, so there is lots of room for contribution.

- brudgers 11y agoIverson's later language, J, is also open source. It doesn't require a special keyboard, has top notch documentation and online support resources and is open source under GPL3. It might or might not be a better place to get started than APL depending on a person's goals. http://www.jsoftware.com/stable.htm http://www.jsoftware.com/stable.htm
- jsofteh 11y agoIt's not really open source. Only the "core." The development environment is excluded. (Looked into it recently and I was disappointed.)
- brudgers 11y agoBetween the command line, scripts and Emacs the J IDE isn't really a big deal for me. Because J was a closed source commercial product and dates to the 1980's their may be copyright licensing issues tied into the code base. It's hard to release existing projects into open source.
