Welcome Silas Poulson
As is often the case these days, Silas found APL through online programming language discussions – both in various forums and through videos (Aaron Hsu’s Co-dfns and John Scholes’ Game of Life demonstatration in particular) – whilst attempting to understand the more esoteric ideas and their theoretical underpinnings provided by Scheme and other functional languages.

Whilst his golfing skills were possibly lacking, […]

Goodbye
At the end of May 2019 I am leaving Dyalog, so it seems like a good time to reflect on my time here and what I’ve learned from APL and the APL community.When I joined Dyalog in 2010 I knew nothing about APL, so there was a really steep learning curve as I got to […]
