Comment on APL and parallel hardware
I've been following the discussion but have little time to comment.
When I see comments that APL was not designed for parallel hardware,
I don't see a problem. Original APL was not designed for computers,
it was designed to express algorithms and solve problems. This is how
it should be. The notation should be designed for people not for
computers. Bright implementers can take care of making it efficient.
