“a program intensively using basic operations on arrays is perfectly suitable for superscalar processors in that it allows a very high level of utilization of their pipelined units.” —  Lastovetsky¹ “From the earliest days of APL the adverbial aspect of functions was achieved by ‘embroidering’ the function symbols with other symbols” —  Thomson & Polivka² 1.   A.L.
