APL in 2020 - A Series of Discussions
Posted: Mon Jun 07, 2010 6:34 am
The "APL in 2020" project is a series of public discussions centred on how
actual and potential APL users see the future shape of APL. They will be
conducted via posts to various APL discussion sites - principally
comp.lang.apl (because of its vendor-neutrality) - with summarised (but
unedited) collation to the website at APLin2020.org. In September there
will be a series of in-person forums at the APL2010 conference in Berlin,
followed by a final collection of topics and views to appear on the
APLin2020.org website and elsewhere before the end of 2010.
The direction of the discussions will be forward rather than retrospective.
Some of the topics will be profound (we hope) and others may be trivial.
Some will look inward at APL, others outward to our relationship with other
aspects of information technology.
APLin2020 emerged from the regular London APL meetings at at present
consists of (in alphabetical order) Dick Bowman, Chris Hogan, John Jacob
and Phil Last - we welcome anyone wishing to participate.
