* Some entries which I've judged as not common enough for the table, but which are likely to be more widely supported in the future, are commented out. | * Some entries which I've judged as not common enough for the table, but which are likely to be more widely supported in the future, are commented out. | ||
* I have decided not to count A+ as an APL dialect, both because it's questionable design-wise and because the it wasn't made public for a long time after being designed so the year is weird. Features would be Interval Index (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⍋</syntaxhighlight>), Tally (<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>#</syntaxhighlight>), and major cell search. | * I have decided not to count A+ as an APL dialect, both because it's questionable design-wise and because the it wasn't made public for a long time after being designed so the year is weird.

* Similar for Extended Dyalog APL, this time because I think the level of commitment shown is more like a publication than a dialect. So it's noted as a source when dzaima/APL took Reverse Compose, and left out of Dyalog 18.0 compositions entirely. A Dyalog employee front-running a Dyalog primitive, largely just because of the release cycle, is not terribly interesting. --[[User:Marshall|Marshall]] ([[User talk:Marshall|talk]]) 02:33, 17 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
