After a large community effort, Code Golf (code.golf/) now supports unrestricted execution and answer checking for their growing list of problems in #APL (Dyalog APL). APL is listed in the "experimental" section of the supported languages list – once a sufficient number of people have submitted solutions, it will move to the main list of languages and get a leaderboard. Please help APL achieve this by exploring the site and submitting APL solutions. #Dyalog #DyalogAPL #CodeGolf

I love how small the #ProgrammingLanguage / #compiler world is sometimes.

I was checking something on the grammar for #Smalltalk and its cascade construct and saw on the (original) C2 wiki that “Budd’s Little Smalltalk” ignored one of the odder corner cases of the cascade construct because it’s a pain to parse.

I go to Budd’s home page and it turns out it’s the same Budd who wrote the “An #APL Compiler” book that’s just a ton of fun.

Small world.

#introduction 1/

I'm a long-time computer programmer living in #PalmSprings, California.

I actually programmed FORTRAN and COBOL professionally back in the day (sometimes on punch cards!), quickly followed by C on #UNIX in 1975, then C++, Java, #Scala, and currently #GoLang. I also like and have written quite a bit of #Clojure and #APL, though not for money.

I wrote up a story about my first #Scala experience here: mastodon.social/@tomchappell/1

Still going strong -- back off, bugs.

MastodonTom Chappell (@tomchappell@mastodon.social)A #Scala story: Back in January 2011, I needed a project to work on as a vehicle to learn #Scala, the #FunctionalProgramming language. (I also during that same project learned #git and #emacs -- just a bunch of new (to me, back then) technology, learn it all!) 1/
