The role of Extended Dyalog APL as breeding ground for ideas was followed [[Dyalog APL Vision]], also by [[Adám Brudzewsky]].
== Influence ==
Many of the extensions have been adopted into [[dzaima/APL]], while Dyalog APL added [[Constant]] (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍨</syntaxhighlight>) and introduced non-experimental [[Case Convert|case conversion]] as a <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕C</syntaxhighlight> [[function]] rather than the proposed [[operator]]. Dyalog is also planning to add [[Reverse Compose]], [[From]], and [[Depth (operator)|Depth]].

Extended Dyalog APL features extended domains of existing primitives and quad names and adds a few new ones to Dyalog APL. It was an experimental project that is no longer maintained. Quoting from project README.md:

This project serves as a breeding ground for ideas. While some have been adopted into Dyalog APL proper, it is unlikely that many will be. Furthermore, Dyalog 18.0 gave a different meaning to monadic ≠ than proposed here, leaving Extended Dyalog APL as a deadend.

The role of Extended Dyalog APL as breeding ground for ideas was followed Dyalog APL Vision, also by Adám Brudzewsky.

Influence

Many of the extensions have been adopted into dzaima/APL, while Dyalog APL added Constant (⍨) and introduced non-experimental case conversion as a ⎕C function rather than the proposed operator. Dyalog is also planning to add Reverse Compose, From, and Depth.

Features

The following extensions were made:
