Maybe it's because your lungs are half dead already, then it's harder to find a place for the virus?

I once used a (very bad) tool called Mediation Zone [0], and they used APL as a scripting language inside of the tool. Worst experience ever.

https://www.artinsolutions.com/competencies/mediationzone%C2... says "Business logic of these agents is defined in APL – Application Definition Language, which is based on Java language." which doesn't sound like the APL I know.

https://careers.digitalroute.com/jobs/98847-implementation-c... has a code sample (https://stuffthatiliketoshare.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/no...) which does not look like APL at all.

It seems like they're very successful from their website. What was bad about it?

I would personally love to have a built-in APL scripting language for interacting with data.

Based on the other comment, it looks like it's another language that happens to shorten down to APL in name rather than APL "A Programming Language". It looks like some internal Java derivative language which sounds like could be rather painful if not done well.

Ohhh gotcha. Yeah, I'd hate to use just a crappy Java. I think either Salesforce or SAP does something similar.

I couldn't agree more. In my company we've decided that everyone will use Typescript with Pulumi because we believe that the developer experience (IDE, code autocompletion, etc) will be the best + it's a language that arguably is more used here as frontenders will know it too + providing examples, etc.

> Build systems inevitably evolve into something turing complete. It makes much more sense to implement build functionality as a library or set of libraries and piggyback off a well designed scripting language.

This is so true. That's why I hate and love Jenkins at the same time.

Agile coach. 100%. It's not about managing people, but neither is it tech related.
