'''GNU APL''' is a free and (almost) complete implementation of Extended APL as specified in [[ISO/IEC 13751:2001]] and is thus similar to [[APL2]]. It was initially written and is being maintained by Jürgen Sauermann. It includes extensions such as [[complex number]]s and a shared variable interface. | '''GNU APL''' is a free and (almost) complete implementation of Extended APL as specified in [[ISO/IEC 13751:2001]] and is thus similar to [[APL2]].

In addition to a normal local APL [[session]], GNU APL can used in a "scripting" language fashion by processing linear scripts passed to the interpreter at startup. It can also be compiled into a shared loadable library for embedding the interpreter into other projects. | |||

Documents on GNU APL sometimes quote [[Richard Stallman]], who both founded GNU and programmed in APL. However, Stallman is not directly associated with the project. | Documents on GNU APL sometimes quote [[Richard Stallman]], who both founded GNU and programmed in APL.
