There is also a portable editor written in APL at:

For editor integration, there is gnu-apl-mode for Emacs, installable via MELPA. Another option is Aplwrap, which provides a gtk-based wrapper around GNU APL.

Here's a video I made some time ago showing off the Emacs mode: http://youtu.be/yP4A5CKITnM

I was to report that this APL _expression_

      30 2⍴?60⍴2

always return a row of "1" and a row of "2" (installed from the source(.tar.gz) provided on GNU Mirrors)

after looking at the "GNU APL" site for a bug report address, I saw that we can get
the "latest" from svn; so I check-it-out, compiled, installed and to my surprise
it no longer give me a row of "1" and "2" !

great !

that said, my real question is:

how hard is it to implement the standard/or-not-as-standard-as-it-seems

:if {boolean}
  do this
:else
  do that
:endif

:repeat
  do this
:until {boolean}

:for {var} :in {list}
  do this
:endfor

:forlcl {var} :in {list}
  do this
:endforlcl

I think there is a :while :endwhile  too


thoses are really missing (to my point of view).

an other thing really missing is a native ")edit function_name"
who would open an other xterm and offer editing/modifying/saving a function
in a window, ala VI/VIM or ala emacs or ala nano. (I may be able to help in this matter, ps: ala means "like", not really "with")

nevertheless I'm quite pleased with "GNU APL" (2 days old installation)


Christian Robert,
Poly.
