The other APL fan I know
Just when I thought I was the last of a dying breed of APL fans, a coworker encourages me to continue pursuing my interest in APL. Here's an email I received from him....
The example with English words in place of digraphs was in Q, which is a skin over K, another descendant of APL.
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Doc/J4APL indicates that APL is definitely NOT in 1-1 correspondence with a subset of J.
http://home.earthlink.net/~swsirlin/apl.faq.html gives a fair sized list of APL implementations, some apparently free for Linux but I don't know how complete any of them are.
Good luck on the APL in Python embedding!
