APL
ISO 8485

    (APL) A programming language designed originally by
   Ken Iverson at Harvard University in 1957-1960 as a notation
   for the concise expression of mathematical algorithms.  It
   went unnamed (or just called Iverson's Language) and
   unimplemented for many years.  Finally a subset, APL\360, was
   implemented in 1964.

   APL is an interactive array-oriented language and programming
   environment with many innovative features.  It was originally
   written using a non-standard character set.  It is
   dynamically typed with dynamic scope.  APL introduced
   several functional forms but is not purely functional.

   Dyalog APL/W and Visual APL are recognized .NET languages.

   Dyalog APL/W, APLX and APL2000 all offer object-oriented
   extensions to the language.

   ISO 8485 is the 1989 standard defining the language.
