'''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 [[wikipedia:AWK|AWK]] and [[wikipedia:sed|sed]], only for array processing rather than text or stream processing. | '''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 [[wikipedia:AWK|AWK]] and [[wikipedia:sed|sed]], only for array processing rather than text or stream processing. | ||

This maps all APL glyphs to ASCII characters or sequences. | ||
