Aplette
Aplette is a slimmed down, 64-bit port of OpenAPL, dispensing with traditional features like the entire interactive environment with a built-in editor etc. Instead, the goal of is to isolate the core language to produce specialised utility along the lines of AWK and sed, only for array processing rather than text or stream processing.
Uniquely, Aplette removes APL's glyphs while basically retaining the way they are typed. This scheme, dubbed APL-touchtype, uses Shift as APL key and @ as overstrike key, so instead of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍴</source> (normally produced with APL+r) one would write <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>R</source> (Shift+r), and instead of <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍟</source> (traditionally produced with <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>○</source> ― APL+o ― overstruck with <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>*</source>) one would write <syntaxhighlight lang=text inline>O@*</source>. This maps all APL glyphs to ASCII characters or sequences.
