The '''History of Programming Languages conference''' is held by [[wikipedia:SIGPLAN|SIGPLAN]] to discuss and record the history of programming language development. It is notable to APL historians because of the very detailed papers presented at the 1978 and 2020 conferences. [[wikipedia:ACM|ACM]] SIGPLAN is the Special Interest Group on Programming Languages; while [[SIGAPL]] is a chapter of SIGPLAN, it is not directly associated with HOPL. | |||
To date, there have been four HOPL conferences: they are held infrequently, but with increasing frequency. The first, in 1978, featured a presentation by [[Ken Iverson]] and [[Adin Falkoff]] on APL.<ref>[[Adin Falkoff]], and [[Ken Iverson]].

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, Volume 13, Number 8. 1978-08.</ref> The fourth conference, in 2020, features an APL presentation again, this time by [[Roger Hui]] and [[Morten Kromberg]].<ref>[[Roger Hui]] and [[Morten Kromberg]].

=== HOPL IV conference badge === | |||
One of the conference badges for HOPL IV features an APL expression <math>\div+\!/\div(\mathcal E \ne 0)/\mathcal E</math> or <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>÷+/÷(E≠0)/E</syntaxhighlight> which computes multiple aspects of electrical circuits: | |||
{| | |||

|||||||||||<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>E</syntaxhighlight>||is a vector of real numeric values | |||
|- | |||
|||||||<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>(E≠0)</syntaxhighlight>||||||produces a Boolean mask indicating which components have a non-zero value | |||
|- | |||
|||||||<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>(E≠0)</syntaxhighlight>||<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>/</syntaxhighlight>||<syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>E</syntaxhighlight>||uses the mask to filter the components, thus removing the zeros | |||

|- | |||

The equivalent mathematical formula would be quite involved: | |||
:<math>1\over\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac1{E_i}[E_i\neq 0]</math> | |||
