Not competition for Dyalog APL - but a recipe for chaos, confusion or maybe a new opportunity?

I vaguely recall that in the mid-70s, Atkins (Phil Goacher's team) had some serious statistical functions. In the 1980s, Statgraphics ( http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=801195&dl=ACM&coll=DL&CFID=651663134&CFTOKEN=21263531 ) seemed to rule the UK business world. Whatever happened to all that lovely ...

Woody, I probably misunderstand your proposal, so forgive me for a cautionary note relating to centralized software updates. Is there a danger of swapping gentle, albeit expensive, ripples of demand on your customer support team, for a tsunami of problems followed by long periods of very low demand ...

To add to the clarification or the confusion. I am using V14.0 64bit under Windows 10. During installation of VS 2015 Express, System.Speech.dll (v4.6) is put into folder WPF rather than the parent folder C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ used prior to installing VS.

I suspect that Dyalog is mostly used for bespoke, in-house and/or rather grand applications. The Windows App Store ...

MS Windows 10 is due for release this summer, with the likelihood of Windows 10 for Phone being able to run many of the same applications. Does anyone have an inkling of how Dyalog might embrace this new MS environment? I suppose I am thinking along the lines of Dyalog applications being ...

My second edition is red, and my third is grey.
Question is: What colour was the first edition?

Morten, thanks for your clarification. I do agree that HTML5/JS (nor forgetting SVG,CSS etc.) should be Dyalog's priority for front-end stuff. On Tuesday, HTML5 became a W3C Recommendation and will, I suspect, endure as long as HTML4. Although XAML based stuff gives richer possibilities, it is ...

I am assuming XBAP is now a dead duck, presumably largely due to security concerns. Without XBAP, WPF/XAML/Syncfusion applications have a smaller potential audience. Given Microsoft's ambitions for "One Windows", will Dyalog's future deployment of WPF (or other Microsoft presentation tools) allow ...
