'''Dyalog APL''' was first released by British company [[Dyalog]] Ltd. in 1983 and, as of 2018, is available for AIX, Linux (including on the Raspberry Pi), macOS and Microsoft Windows platforms. It is based on [[APL2]], with extensions to support object-oriented programming and functional programming. Licences are free for personal/non-commercial use.
'''Dyalog APL''' was first released by British company [[Dyalog Ltd.|Dyadic Systems Ltd.]] (later Dyalog Ltd.) in 1983 for the Zylog Z80 processor. The name ''Dyalog'' is a portmanteau of ''Dyadic'' and ''Zylog''. As of 2018, Dyalog APL is available for AIX, Linux (including on the Raspberry Pi), macOS and Microsoft Windows platforms. While mainly based is based on [[APL2]], it adds support for both object-oriented, functional, and tacit programming. Dyalog APL also serves as the inspiration for many hobby implementations of APL. Dyalog APL is unique among commercial APLs in getting additional primitives and constructs.


In 1995, two of the development team — [[John Scholes]] and [[Peter Donnelly]] — were awarded the [[Iverson Award]] for their work on the interpreter. [[Gitte Christensen]] and [[Morten Kromberg]] were joint recipients of the Iverson Award in 2016.
