Re: Whither Scientific & Engineering APL?
I am also a Mechanical Engineer (a PE actually). I would love an
opportunity to demonstrate APL to the engineers, but I have been in
software, sales, banking, financial modeling and entrepreneurship for
decades, and the engineers no longer want me nor give a glance at my
resume.
Go figure.
It is hard for me to grasp. A Space Shuttle Designer like myself on
unemployment for years, and years ........
Meanwhile, I have started on my own new project! A book! "APL for C#
Programmers" One chapter written. Hard work! LOL. Stay tuned.
