This news is of interest to those who are working in environments
where Microsoft Visual Studio and .NEt architecture is in use to
design large-scale, highly concurrent, high-availability applications.
APL is a welcome addition to the multiple-language capability of
the .NET Framework. It means that APL can be used by developers when
it is the programming language that is most appropriate for a given
task. It can be combined with other languages in the .NET Framework
within a single application. Components written in different
languages within a .NET Framework employ functionality from each
other transparently, without extra development.
The .NET Framework now supports more than 20 programming languages,
including APL, Visual Basic, C#, C++, COBOL, Eiffel, Forth, Fortran,
Java, J#, Prolog, Pascal, Delphi, Perl, Python, and RPG. (J# is no
relation to J)
The additional cost in this type of environment is nominal however
much it is an entry barrier for those who are dismissive. Compared
to the limitations of Visual Basic or the low level of languages such
as C# and C++, APL should prove very useful in such environments.
My exploration of J is to determine its suitability for incorporation
in .NET or J2EE environments.

Personally, I lost interest when it asked me for a login and
password as
the first thing. It's http://aplnext.com/, right? Am I in a
parallel
universe?
