They found a new shape, and I wanted to 3D print it so bad. I'm not the first, but its ~100x100x6mm so I can use it as a coaster.

This lets you access CUDA with APL

What do you want to know about, specifically?
I use APL as the sole language for my current job. Previous job was also APL. cumulative 4 years, and I'm under 30 yrs old, which is a bit of an oddity.
Do it in APL

This was my group's senior project. none of us are working on this anymore.

I suggest checking out GNU APL. There are relatively few libraries, so there is lots of room for contribution.

I know a person who went through this program, and is still APLing today.

I think so,

It would be easy to make bitmap data with APL. What is the output of the "draw" being processed by, (or where)? From there, I think it would be easy to see where to wedge in APL.

This looks really neat. It may even give me a reason to learn K :)

I'm still not sure I totally understand. Are you suggesting that it would be neat to rewrite things in ok/examples or ok/ike/examples in APL and provide the draw function? Would that be enough to take advantage of what you wrote? What else would be needed?

This looks really neat. Is the SDL wrapper you wrote publicly available? It shouldn't be too hard to clone.

I can't speak for performance, but both GNU APL and Dyalog have solved the "problematic keyboard" problem, so getting running is no longer a problem.

I've been using it for image processing. Its perfect with the matrix data type. I also like to write preprocessors for APL code.

Any good books to recommend?
