This could be read as `APL` but also as `ALP`, so it might confuse those that are not aware of the language name or people outside of the community. | This could be read as `APL` but also as `ALP`, so it might confuse those that are not aware of the language name or people outside of the community. | ||
== APL Wiki comment by [[User:Mlliarm|Mlliarm]] ([[User talk:Mlliarm|talk]]) == | |||
I like this one actually. | |||
- it is very modern as per design. | |||
- it's been used already in the APLwiki page (even though maybe the version with the traditional name in the middle is better) so some of us already feel used to it. | |||
- It could be decided to use the traditional name APL with the nice curvy font, which will keep a connection with the past of the language this way. | |||
- If the name was used I'd prefer the Lamp Rho Floor symbols or the curvy font mentioned earlier. | |||
- If the name was used I don't think if like it to be anywhere else than in the middle. That's only where it's possible to enclose the letters with a bubble. | |||
- The symbolism might be visible only to those that can recognize a matrix when they see it, but for me it has a deep and important symbolism: everything in APL is an array, be it 0-dimensioned (scalar), 1-dimensioned (vector or array), 2-dimensioned (matrix), n-dimensioned where n greater than 2 (tensor). |
