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.
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.

If the platform you need is not here, tell us. Which platforms people ask for does influence what we build next.
