As part of this change, what was formerly SIGAPL (Special Interest Group on ''APL'') became a chapter within the larger SIGPLAN (Special Interest Group on Programming Languages). One of the goals of this change was to encourage the often quite isolated APL community to cooperate with the larger group and thus reach beyond its traditional boundaries. The "APL" part of the acronym was reinterpreted to cover all array programming languages, not just the original APL language. SIGAPL is now identified as the Special Interest Group on ''Array Programming Languages''. | As part of this change, what was formerly SIGAPL (Special Interest Group on ''APL'') became a chapter within the larger SIGPLAN (Special Interest Group on Programming Languages).
