Oh how I'd like a compilation of 500L APL programs.



I worked on a billing system that was written in APL, maybe 60 functions at 5-10 lines each. The corresponding manuals (one development, one user guide) were both over 300 pages.

Maybe some of the APL mavens can do the existing examples in APL and explain them. The write density of APL is pretty amazing. Depending on what you are doing a clear winner at code golf.


I guess that system could deserve a 4 year cursus to reach understanding. APL breeds fields.
