Imperial College London

APL demonstration 1975

A 1975 live demonstration of the APL language by Imperial College professor Bob Spence, showing a REPL on a modified typewriter terminal and APL's appeal to non-programmers.

Recommended as a charming, from-zero introduction to APL and a window into early interactive computing.
