APL (A Programming Language) is like programming’s hieroglyphs - a language where each symbol carries a world of meaning. Created by Kenneth E. Iverson in the 1960s, APL is an array-oriented language that lets you manipulate data with an elegance that makes other languages look verbose. Instead of long lines of code, APL uses special characters to express complex operations compactly.

Don’t be put off by its unusual syntax. APL is designed to let you focus on the problem rather than boilerplate code. With tools such as Dyalog APL and GNU APL you can explore this unique language and discover its strengths for data manipulation and algorithmic expression. If you’re up for a challenge and want to think differently, APL may be your next programming adventure.
