The message was held by Mailman, because it thought you had too many
recipients in the message. Gershom noticed this while we were doing
some maintenance, and released it. We also bumped the recipient limit
to 20 people, so this shouldn't be a problem again.

From: Haskell-Cafe [mailto:haskell-cafe-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Simon Peyton-Jones Sent: 08 March 2012 13:45 To: haskell@haskell.org; Haskell Cafe Cc: Lennart Augustsson; John Scholes; nicsma@chalmers.se; Nate Foster; Andy Gill; Mary Sheeran; Fritz Henglein Subject: [Haskell-cafe] An APL library for Haskell
Friends
Many of you will know the array language APL. It focuses on arrays and in particular has a rich, carefully-thought-out array algebra.
An obvious idea is: what would a Haskell library that embodies APL’s array algebra look like? In conversation with John Scholes and some of his colleagues in the APL community a group of us developed some ideas for a possible API, which you can find on the Haskell wiki here: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/APL
However, we have all gone our separate ways, and I think it’s entirely possible that that the idea will go no further. So this message is to ask:
· Is anyone interested in an APL-style array library in Haskell?
· If so, would you like to lead the process of developing the API?
I think there are quite a few people who would be willing to contribute, including some core gurus from the APL community: John Scholes, Arthur Whitney, and Roger Hui.
