It's the final week to enter your submission to the APL Forge – the deadline is Monday 23 June 2024 at 12:00 UTC. This annual competition enhances awareness and usage of APL in the community at large by challenging participants to create innovative open-source libraries and commercial applications using Dyalog APL. For more information and to enter, see forge.dyalog.com

On this day in 1983, at the APL83 conference in Washington D.C., the world was introduced to Dyalog v1.0!

Today we celebrate Dyalog reaching the milestone age that is the ultimate answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything!

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/
