This page lists people or companies that have made significant use of APL, and are famous for reasons other than APL specifically (Ken Iverson and Arthur Whitney are the only people to achieve substantial fame for APL or array programming).

Individuals

Organizations

Because of APL's wide reach historically, only organizations that have major APL projects or groups with many programmers are listed.

Companies

Universities
