APL Application Programming Library (APL)
At the time being, everything here refers to Dyalog APL. That might change sometime, but as long as no other stuff turns up here it keeps things simple.
All classes published here must be part of "The Open Source APL Project" in short TOSAP. Yes, classes, so it has to be at least version 11 of Dyalog APL you are working with.
The idea behind TOSAP is to provide classes ready for usage for every-day-problems programmers typically come across.
Note that there is a significant difference between downloading a script from the wiki and checking out the associated project from SubVersion:
- The wiki download contains the script and maybe something else you need to run the script.
The subproject comes with more stuff, especially with a development workspace which must contain a test suite. Only fully tested scripts should offered to the public for download.
Many but not all classes do not use .NET at all. That might look strange: there are tons of useful .NET classes available, and they are free, so why not using them? Well, it all depends. Try to get a directory listing of a directory which contains 100,000 files and you know what I mean.
