Hi I did it - i have fpc executing apl statements - it was pretty simple - i already had done something similar for a posits library. the only 'problem' is that apl uses ' ' single quotes q ;= 'qerqwr'; for strings so to have a←'a'i need to do 'a←''a''' (double single quote) or

Hi, I am not criticising freepascal in any way. My point is simply that the number of users for which a combination of Pascal and APL makes sense is rather small (maybe one ?) and that such an interface should therefore rather be constructed by

Hi, I believe that extending some language X with an interface to APL makes only sense if: 1. language X is popular or at least is gaining popularity, and 2. (GNU-) APL can provide an advantage in an area where language X is weak.
