In the meantime, the Wikipedia article has a pretty interesting history of the language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APL_(programming_language) I got into APL for a while at Caltech in 1969, a year after I started programming. After the more verbose languages I'd learned (BASIC, Algol 60, and a couple of assemblers), it was fun to see how much could be done with so little code. We had one of the IBM 2741 Selectric terminals with the APL keyboard and typeball, which made editing code a lot easier! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2741#/media/File:IBM2741.JPG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_2741#/media/File:IBM2741.J...
