=== Iverson Centenary === | |||
On 17 December 2020, a special webinar was arranged to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of [[Ken Iverson]]. Around 200 attendees from around the world attended as the panel consisting of [[Roger Hui]], Leslie Goldsmith, Rebecca Kelly (of KX), Devon McCormick, [[Morten Kromberg]], Simon Garland, and Stephen Taylor reflected on their experiences of working with and learning from Iverson. The legacy of [[Iverson Notation]] for APL, [[J]], [[Q]] and [[Family_tree_of_array_languages|other languages]] was discussed, together with the future of Iversonian notations.<ref>BAA Editor.
