Supported Platforms

Windows, macOS, Linux, AIX, and Raspberry Pi

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.

NOTE: Although the Dyalog programming language is identical on all platforms, differences do exist in the tools and interfaces that are available on each platform.

Android

Support is planned (but no release date has been set) for Android.

iOS

We are monitoring the Apple iOS platform, but it is not currently clear that it makes sense to develop a dynamic application development tool for this platform (due to restrictions imposed by the environment). A new product with reduced functionality may be required.
