An APL is a very compact programming language, from Wikipedia:
> APL (named after the book A Programming Language)[2] is a programming language developed in the 1960s by Kenneth E. Iverson. Its central datatype is the multidimensional array. It uses a large range of special graphic symbols[3] to represent most functions and operators, leading to very concise code.
Took me some time to realise what I was even reading about, let alone the content!
