Dyalog Ltd.: Difference between revisions

'''Dyalog Ltd.''' (originally Dyadic Systems Ltd.) is a British company that specialises in APL products, especially developing [[Dyalog APL]] and providing consultancy services to Dyalog APL users.

Dyadic Systems was formed in 1976 by Ted Hare, Phil Goacher and David Crossley, a breakaway group of APL consultants from time-sharing bureau W.S. Atkins Computing. The group had been working on the [[Sigma APL]] processor, and was joined by other Atkins employees including [[Geoff Streeter]] and John Stembridge. Dyadic provided independent design and development services unaffiliated with any specific vendor. The steadily growing group of analysts gained a broad collective experience over numerous flavours of APL. While the emphasis remained with [[SHARP APL]], [[APL*PLUS]] and Sigma APL, they also worked with APLs from IBM, DEC, Honeywell, Burroughs, and others, in addition to some non-APL languages. IBM was promoting [[VSAPL]] as its primary personal and departmental computing platform; this was a potential source of further demand for consulting.
