That's true. And APL and its children is still quite popular in finance. By the way, I found a rather neat page about building a Jupiter ACE: http://searle.hos

- mhd 10y agoMentioning APL in this context makes me picture an 8 bit home computer with an APL interpreter. I mean, the C64 had all kinds of weird symbols on its keyboard, too. And the magazines would save quite some pages for their source code listing compared to BASIC...
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoAccording to Wikipedia, the first implementation of APL on a micro was on the 8008, in '73. It wasn't very good, but it did run... Later ('77), TIS APL ran on Z80 systems, and was aparently quite a bit better, although it wasn't a full implementation. But I'm just quoting Wikipedia at this point, so look it up yourself.
