Processes and Structures

Notes

After establishing our new name, we look at graphical diagrams that implement the structure of a system, and compare to the evolution of Iverson Notation into today’s traditional user-defined functions in APL. We also discuss what aspects of that could be desirable in an integrated development environment.
