Running APL
Traditionally a commercial language, there are now quite a few APL dialects available to download for free without feature limitations, and most of these can be tried online without installing anything. |
Introduction to APL
Taking up APL can ba a daunting task; a few introductory guides have been created to help in the process. | ||
Who uses APL?There are many case studies of both hobby and real-world APL applications. There is a popular APL chat room on Stack Exchange. There are active user groups all around the globe, many of these hold regular in-person meet-ups. |

Examples
APL's terseness means that substantial programs are expressible in a small space, relative to many other programming languages. Here are some examples: Split text by delimiter','(≠⊆⊢)'comma,delimited,text' ┌─────┬─────────┬────┐ │comma│delimited│text│ └─────┴─────────┴────┘ Works in: Dyalog APL
