- walterbell 3y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) > 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 ... In 1979, Iverson received the Turing Award for his work on APL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_(programming_language) > The J programming language, developed in the early 1990s by Kenneth E. Iverson and Roger Hui, is an array programming language based primarily on APL (also by Iverson). To avoid repeating the APL special-character problem, J uses only the basic ASCII character set ... J is a very terse array programming language, and is most suited to mathematical and statistical programming, especially when performing operations on matrices ... Since March 2011, J is free and open-source software under the GNU General Public License version 3 (GPLv3).
