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:
“My God! The English language is a form of communication! Conversation isn’t just crossfire where you shoot and get shot at! Where you’ve got to duck for your life and aim to kill! Words aren’t only bombs and bullets—no, they’re little gifts, containing meanings!”
—Philip Roth (b. 1933)
