Leading axis theory was first developed by | Leading axis theory was first developed by [[Arthur Whitney]] of [[I. P. Sharp Associates]] in the early 1980s. Based on this, [[Ken Iverson]] invented the [[Rank operator]]. The new ideas were further developed by Iverson and [[Roger Hui]] when creating the [[J]] language in the 1990s and 2000s; the leading axis model and its various incompatibilities with APL had been a major reason to break with APL and create a new language. | ||
Leading axis theory was brought to [[Nested array theory|nested]] APLs by [[Dyalog APL]] in the 2010s after [[Dyalog Ltd.]] employed Hui. Working with [[Jay Foad]] and [[Morten Kromberg]], Hui designed and implemented versions of Rank and other J functionality compatible with Dyalog's nested arrays. | Leading axis theory was brought to [[Nested array theory|nested]] APLs by [[Dyalog APL]] in the 2010s after [[Dyalog Ltd.]] employed Hui.
