The following table shows support for various APL features: nesting either with [[box]]es or the [[nested array model]], [[defined function]]s or similar syntax, [[control structure]]s, [[dfn]]-style anonymous functions, [[tacit]] programming, particularly with [[train]]s, [[complex number]]s, arbitrary-precision integers, [[Unicode]] support, and [[namespace]]s or a similar encapsulation feature. The precise syntax and capabilities of these features might differ between dialects that support them.

The precise syntax and capabilities of these features might differ between dialects that support them.
Dialects included in the first row include [[APL\360]], [[APL\1130]], [[APL*PLUS]] before II, [[APL/700]], [[APL.SV]], [[APL 5100]], [[MCM/70]], [[VS APL]], [[APL\3000]], and [[Aplette]].
