J Language
In the early 1990s, Ken Iverson and Roger Hui began collaboration on an advanced continuation of an APL-like language which they called J. The improvements not only were intended to fix some of the persistent character set issues that had plagued APL since its inception, but to add new advanced features such as support for parallel MIMD operations. It was intended that the J language be an improvement over existing APL. The J interpreter and language continue to evolve.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
“Like the train’s beat
Swift language flutters the lips
Of the Polish airgirl in the corner seat.”
