Dyalog Integrated Development Environments
On all supported platforms, Dyalog provides an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to enable the interactive use of APL to explore data, discover algorithms and create solutions.
The IDE provides editors for code and data, and a tracer which allows the setting of break points, watch points, and full edit-and-resume capabilities. Users can enhance the IDE through User Commands. These are development-time utilities accessible in the interactive APL session (REPL) used to automate common tasks and adjust some settings in the development environment. Dyalog comes with user commands for inspecting the contents of the workspace, comparing the runtime of multiple expressions, quickly plotting data and more. You can further extend the IDE by implementing your own user commands.
