he worked on Project Whirlwind from 1948-1949, and again in 1952, after a year at the Ballistic Research Laboratories, Aberdeen Proving Ground. Perlis was first introduced to APL at Ken Iverson's 1963 talk on "Formalism in Programming languages", where he asked about executing APL on … FAC: A Functional APL Language.

Alan Jay Perlis (April 1, 1922 – February 7, 1990) was an American computer scientist and professor at Purdue University, Carnegie Mellon University and Yale University.He is best known for his pioneering work in programming languages and was the first recipient of the Turing Award.. Alan J. Perlis received a B.S. Perlis was active in the Association for Computer Machinery, becoming the first editor of Communications of the ACM (1958-1962), and president of the ACM from 1962 to 1964.

Later, Perlis worked with APL while at Yale.

Having been raised on programming languages of the ALGOL variety, I came under the influence of APL rather late in life.

Alan Perlis (the first recipient of the ACM’s Turing Award, in 1966) was one: The sweep of the eye across a single sentence can expose an intricate, ingenious and beautiful interplay of operation and control that in other programming languages is observable only in several pages of text. He was an advocate of APL, and taught it in university courses.

The goal of this document is to give a basic introduction for those who would like to understand or use the language, while still providing a taste of the language to those who would like to … in chemistry from Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1943, and an M.S. Prior to the wide adoption of Unicode, a number of special-purpose EBCDIC and non-EBCDIC code pages were used to represent the symbols required for writing APL.

The programming language APL uses a number of symbols, rather than words from natural language, to identify operations, similarly to mathematical symbols. Perlis wrote several articles and books on programming and compilers including an introductory text on computer programming. In Praise of APL: A Language for Lyrical Programming; 1978.
