A+ is an array programming language, a dialect of APL with aggressive extensions. Arthur Whitney developed the "A" portion of A+, while other developers at Morgan Stanley extended it, adding a graphical user interface and other language features. A+ was designed for numerically intensive applications, especially those found in financial applications. A+ runs on many Unix variants, including Linux. A+ is a high-level, interactive, interpreted language.
A+ provides an extended set of functions and operators, a graphical user interface with a wide selection of widgets, automatic synchronization of widgets and variables, asynchronous execution of functions associated with variables and events, dynamic loading of user compiled subroutines, and other features. A newer graphical user interface has not yet been ported to all supported platforms.
The A+ language implements the following changes to the APL language:
Interactive A+ development is primarily done in the Xemacs editor, through...
