GNU APL is a free and (almost) complete implementation of Extended APL as specified in ISO/IEC 13751:2001 and is thus similar to APL2. It runs on GNU/Linux and on Windows using Cygwin, and uses Unicode internally. GNU APL was initially written and is being maintained by Jürgen Sauermann, implementing:
- nested arrays and related functions
- complex numbers, and
- a shared variable interface
Besides for running in the classic interactive mode locally, there is an (experimental) online version of GNU APL. In addition, GNU APL can be scripted.
Documents on GNU APL sometimes quote Richard Stallman, who both founded GNU and programmed in APL. However, Stallman is not directly associated with the project.
Encoding
It should be noted that GNU APL tends to prefer the Unicode Lozenge (U+25CA; ◊) and Element of (U+2208; ∈) over Diamond operator (U+22C4; ⋄) and Small Element of (U+220A; ∊) which are more commonly used by dialects. This can lead to SYNTAX ERRORs if attempting to use code written for GNU APL in other implementations. However, GNU APL also accepts the more common code points.
