APL: You need a special keyboard to program in this language (S04E06) 1:42:29

2 yearsที่แล้ว1:42:29

1:42:29

APL is an array based programming language developed by Kenneth Iverson in the 1960s. Its central data type is the multi-dimensional array and hence it's very useful for workloads involving a lot of matrix math. APL predominantly uses symbols and it leverages consistent composability and execution rules to enable it as a notation as a tool for thought.

'Visual Programming' refers a style of programming that allows the user to specify a programs in a two-(or more)-dimensional fashion. Visual programming environments represent the data, control flow, or program state in a graphical way, allowing them to be directly manipulated. It has been a hot area of research from the very beginning of personal computing, to today.
