The features in the array oriented APL are very convenient for
handling my experiental data.
By features I mean: for example, I don't need to worry about the
shape of an array and the math procedure that should be written
is very close to what I think-----sum of a array is +/arrayName,
etc.
However, in APL , it is very difficult to interface with the machine
hardware.
Some day , I happened to see a paper in APL86 conference preceedings
on page 164, mentioning the existence of a vacabulary F83VEC which
implements a subset of APL in Laxon's FORTH 83.
Does anyone have the copy of it ? Could I get a copy ?
Or does any other implementation exist ?
Do all these implementation involve garbage collection ?
