John Morley Scholes (1948–2019) was a British computer scientist. His professional career was devoted to the development of APL. He co-founded what eventually became Dyalog and kept working for the company until his death. He was the designer and implementer of Dyalog APL's direct functions (dfns, pronounced "dee funs"), a major distinguishing advance which was since copied by GNU APL, ngn/apl, and dzaima/APL. He also advocated for simplicity in computer systems.
