'''Dyalog APL''', or simply '''Dyalog''', is a [[Nested array model|nested]] APL based on [[NARS]] and [[APL2]], first released by British company [[Dyalog Ltd.|Dyadic Systems Ltd.]] (now Dyalog Ltd.) in 1983 for the [[wikipedia:Zilog Z8000|Zilog Z8000]] processor. (The name ''Dyalog'' is a portmanteau of ''Dyadic'' and ''Zilog''). Continuously developed since, Dyalog has added support for many programming paradigms including [[object-oriented programming]] based on [[.NET]], [[wikipedia:Lisp (programming language)|Lisp]]-style lexically scoped anonymous functions ([[dfn]]s), and [[Leading axis theory|leading axis]] and [[tacit programming]] support based on [[J]]. It supports several platforms and interoperability between them, and interfaces with other languages and runtimes including native [[wikipedia:Shared library|shared libraries]], [[.NET]], the [[wikipedia:Java virtual machine|JVM]], [[wikipedia:R (programming language)|R]], and [[wikipedia:Python (programming language)|Python]]. | '''Dyalog APL''', or simply '''Dyalog''', is a [[Nested array model|nested]] APL based on [[NARS]] and [[APL2]], first released by British company [[Dyalog Ltd.|Dyadic Systems Ltd.]] (now Dyalog Ltd.) in 1983 for the [[wikipedia:Zilog Z8000|Zilog Z8000]] processor.

Even in APLs not derived from Dyalog such as [[GNU APL]] and [[NARS2000]], [[dfn]]-style function syntax has become common, and Dyalog has also popularised [[SHARP APL]] and [[J]] innovations such as the [[Rank operator]] and [[train]]s among nested APLs. | ||
