== Influential array languages ==
The following array family programming languages, and papers describing languages, have had a major influence on commonly-used APLs.
{|class=wikitable
! Year !! Event
|-
| 1962 || [[A Programming Language]] describes [[Ken Iverson]]'s [[Iverson notation|notation]]
|-
| 1966 || [[APL\360]] completed and used within [[IBM]]
|-
| 1968 || [[APL\1130]] released as an [[wikipedia:IBM Type-III Library|IBM Type-III Library]]
|-
| 1970 || [[APL*PLUS]] is offered by [[IPSA]] and [[STSC]] as part of a time-sharing service
|-
| 1971 || "A Generalization of APL", [[Jim Brown]]'s Ph.D. thesis, describes a [[Nested array model|nested]] APL which later becomes the basis of [[APL2]]
|-
| 1973 || [[APL.SV]] introduces [[shared variable]]s
|-
| 1976 || [[VS APL]] is [[IBM]]'s first APL to interact with the host system
|-
| 1976 (approximate) || [[SHARP APL]] splits from [[APL*PLUS]]
|-
| 1981 || [[NARS]] is the first [[Nested array model|nested]] APL
|-
| 1981 || [[SHARP APL]] adds [[box]]es to the [[flat array model]]
|-
| 1983 || [[Rationalized APL]], a paper on [[Ken Iverson|Iverson]]'s latest thinking on APL, includes the [[Rank operator]] added to [[SHARP APL]] later that year
|-
| 1983 || [[Dyalog APL]], based on [[NARS]] and the to-be-released [[APL2]], is released
|-
| 1984 || [[APL2]] is [[IBM]]'s take on [[Nested array model|nested]] array programming
|-
| 1985 || [[A]] is [[Arthur Whitney]]'s APL, the first to be based on [[leading axis theory]]
|-
| 1987 || [[A Dictionary of APL]] describes a precursor to [[J]]
|-
| 1988 || [[A+]] adds a [[wikipedia:Graphical user interface|GUI]] to A and replaces it
|-
| 1990 || [[J]] is [[Ken Iverson]]'s new array language, with [[wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]] characters and based on [[leading axis theory]]
|-
| 1992 || [[K]] ("K0"), [[Arthur Whitney]]'s [[List model|list]]-based language, first becomes available
|-
| 1997 || [[Dyalog APL]] adds [[dfn]]s
|-
| 2006 || [[NARS2000]], a successor to [[NARS]], is released
|-
| 2009 || [[VisualAPL]] is the first [[.NET]]-based APL, but soon stops development
|-
| 2010 || [[APL#]], a [[.NET]]-based language, is released by [[Dyalog Ltd.]], to be abandoned in 2012
|-
| 2013 || [[GNU APL]] is the first fully [[wikipedia:Scripting language|scriptable]] APL
