'''Dyalog APL''', or simply '''Dyalog''', is a modern APL in the [[APL2]] tradition, first released by British company [[Dyalog Ltd.|Dyadic Systems Ltd.]] (now Dyalog Ltd.) in 1983 for the Zylog Z80 processor (the name ''Dyalog'' is a portmanteau of ''Dyadic'' and ''Zylog''). Dyalog supports several platforms and interfaces with many 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]]. It is actively developed and has introduced many new primitives and concepts to array programming. Major categories of features introduced to APL by Dyalog are [[tacit]] programming by allowing named [[derived function]]s and later [[train]]s, lexically-scoped functional programming using [[dfn]]s, [[namespace]]s and [[object-oriented programming]], and the addition of [[leading axis theory]] and the [[Rank operator]] to the [[nested array model|nested array]] paradigm.

In 1995, two Dyalog developers—[[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.

== Platforms ==
Besides for working out-of-the-box on Windows, macOS, and AIX, Dyalog APL runs on many Linuxes. However, to function, some require additional action beyond simple installation. As of 2019-05-15, the necessary actions for versions 16.0, 17.0, and 17.1 are:
{| class=wikitable
! Distribution    !! Action
|-
|Debian 8.2, 9.8, 9.9 || no pre-reqs
|-
|Fedora 29, 30        || <code>dnf install ncurses-compat-libs</code>
|-
|Linux Mint 18.0, 19.0|| no pre-reqs
|-
|openSUSE 15.0        || <code>zypper install libncurses5</code>
|-
|CentOS/RedHat 6      || not supported for 17.1 as glibc is at too low a level
|-
|CentOS/RedHat 7      || no pre-reqs
|-
|RedHat 8            || <code>rpm -Uvh ncurses-compat-libs</code>  (note: RH8 would not install in a VM)
|-
|Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04  || no pre-reqs
|-
|Ubuntu 19.04        || <code>apt-get install libtinfo5</code>
