I am learning using the book "APL with a Mathematical Accent" and so far all the examples work fine (I am on chapter 3). I'll probably switch to learning J if I start running into problems. It says on the GNU page "implementation of ISO standard 13751" so if it's not standards compliant it should likely be filed as a bug.
I did request a copy of Dyalog but they rejected my application (probably because I didn't add my address?). I don't have a lot of enthusiasm for learning using a proprietary implementation of a language anyway.
- threwawasy1228 8y agoI'm not sure where you are seeing that, on the GNU page I'm looking at[0] they are very clear that they are not following the complete standard. "The APL interpreter is an (almost) complete implementation of ISO standard 13751 aka. Programming Language APL, Extended." [0] https://www.gnu.org/software/apl/ https://www.gnu.org/software/apl/
- kasbah 8y agoThat reads to me like they are aiming for standard compliance but the implementation is still incomplete, which is quite different from deliberate deviation from the standard.
