APL: A COMPUTING LANGUAGE DESIGNED FOR THE USER
Stephen M. Hunka · British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology · 1967
Traditionally computer languages have been thought of only in the context of communications with a computer. Most languages in common use today are still more dependent upon machine design characteristics than the needs of the user. APL, designed by K. E. Iverson, is a new language equally useful for purposes of communicating with a computer as it is for use in the classroom. This powerful language can be learned easily and applied to a wide range of problems.
