Abstract
Programming languages are mainly developed with the computer in mind, rather than the user. A Programming Language (apl) has developed from being an enhanced mathematical and logical notation for a number of years to a much more analytical language. For the DP department, one of apl's strengths is its ease of amendment. But its main weakness is its inablility to fit into any traditional mould without losing its strengths.
