The following array family programming languages, and papers describing languages, have had a major influence on commonly-used APLs.
- 1962: A Programming Language describes Ken Iverson's notation
- 1966: APL\360 completed and used within IBM
- 1968: APL\1130 released as an IBM Type-III Library
- 1970: APL*PLUS is offered by IPSA and STSC as part of a time-sharing service
- 1971: "A Generalization of APL", Jim Brown's Ph.D. thesis, describes a nested APL which later becomes the basis of APL2
- 1973: APL.SV introduces shared variables
- 1976: VS APL is IBM's first APL to interact with the host system
- 1976 (approximate): SHARP APL splits from APL*PLUS
- 1981: NARS is the first nested APL
- 1981: SHARP APL adds boxes to the flat array model
- 1983: Rationalized APL, a paper on Iverson's latest thinking on APL, includes the Rank operator added to SHARP APL later that year
- 1983: Dyalog APL, based on NARS and the to-be-released APL2, is released
- 1984: APL2 is IBM's take on nested array programming
- 1985: A is Arthur Whitney's APL, the first to be based on leading axis theory
- 1987: A Dictionary of APL describes a precursor to J
- 1988: A+ adds a GUI to A and replaces it
- 1990: J is Ken Iverson's new array language, with ASCII characters and based on leading axis theory
- 1992: K ("K0"), Arthur Whitney's list-based language, first becomes available
- 2006: NARS2000, a successor to NARS, is released
- 2009: VisualAPL is the first .NET-based APL, but soon stops development
- 2010: APL#, a .NET-based language, is released by Dyalog Ltd., to be abandoned in 2012
