  APL programming language
APL (for A Processing Language, or sometimes Array Processing Language) is a programming language invented in 1962 by Kenneth E. Iverson while at Harvard University.
Unlike traditional structured programming languages, code in APL is typically structured as chains of monadic or dyadic operators acting on arrays.
APL is renowned for using a set of non-ASCII symbols that are an extension of traditional arithmetic and algebraic notation.

Nonetheless, the APL language definition finally embodied in the standard adopted by all parties in 1987 is essentially that of APLSV.
Some language development was included in the work of the support group, but their major activity was more in the nature of systems work - keeping up with evolving operating systems, and developing new or enhanced auxiliary processors for file management and other purposes.
However, language studies had been continued by the small contingent of the Philadelphia group that had remained on the East Coast, and the design of a new interpreter was resumed in earnest in 1978 after they and others were reassigned to the Research Division in Yorktown Heights, New York.

 Why APL?
Computers are programmed in APL by financial analysts, actuaries, business managers, clerks, administrative assistants, professional programmers, etc. The common bond among all users is that at last the computer has been made directly available to the end user, to enhance his/her own creativity without being bogged down with a list of computer details and restrictions.
APL serves as a notation for both writing the algorithms of a discipline and then exploring the behavior of those algorithms via a computer (since the notation is also a program).
APL is growing rapidly in Europe as well as in the United States because it is symbol oriented and therefore crosses international boundaries.

 More About APL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
APL's primitive functions have loops built into them, saving programmers from having to write many of the loops that are required in other languages.
APL is almost always interpreted, rather than compiled, and the APL development environment has always been highly interactive and user-friendly.
Programs can be run as soon as you finish editing them (no compilation or linking required), and array bounds-checking prevents APL programs from clearing memory or crashing the system.
