Supported Platforms

The Dyalog interpreter is supported on most popular platforms. Binary data structures, including workspaces, component files, and serialised data transmitted over sockets, can be used on all platforms without conversion. Most interfaces to external frameworks or data are also available (and compatible) on all supported platforms. Operating-system-specific documentation describes features and behaviour specific to those operating systems.
