APL is interesting. I know two large systems in Sweden. One is the largest health care journal system, named Take Care, the other one is a very complex order-to-delivery-system in the car industry which my dad spent most of his work life on. There is a commercial IDE called Dyalog, which is feature complete (I think they use images like small talk).

What’s the name of the automotive thing? I’m in the e-health sector so know more than I want about Take Care, but the only other APL system I have encountered was a logistics system for Volvo (Group, not cars). And that Volvo thing had to be decommissioned as the only person who knew it was well past retirement age... 😅

I was not aware that APL was used in production. I wonder how much people would pay to maintain such systems... :thinking_face:

Oh, lots and lots. Just like all the mainframe systems in COBOL.

And CL and FORTRAN in all those math and physics libraries. :)

I had to take COBOL off my resume because I kept getting recruiters offering me "exciting" maintenance jobs 🙂

lol

sean if you write a cobol generator in clojure ...

i'm looking for a video of the presentation associated with: https://github.com/apangin/codeone2019-java-profiling -- has anyone come across a recording?
