@hyper-neutrino Can you give meta.stackexchange.com/users/1339392/user1339392 access?

@Adám Wow, how did I not know about Paul's blog?

@cube.head You may find this useful (disclaimer: author): xpqz.github.io/learnapl/cookbook1.html#partition

@RubenVerg I had been wondering the same thing and your question inspired me to ask support@dyalog.com about it. According to Vince, Dyalog "used to use a cross-platform GUI platform on Linux called Mainwin. This must be where the m in mapl comes from."

Before shooting Vince that question, I did try digging around in the changelogs and stuff, but mapl appeared to go back as far as the public historical docs go, so out of pure curiosity I also asked about how long the script has been around.

Vince elucidated a bit, "I can find a mapl script in our version 8.2 from 1999, so I think we have been using mapl scripts from the early Dyalog version that ran on Solaris."

@Adám done

thx

so i have a slight problem with the competition; my answer isnt submitting

i get the error "Result should have been (2024 7 17) with (1962 10 31) as left argument and (2023 8 1) as right argument". last time that happened, i suspected boxing, and a simple ⊃ at the end solved it, but this time, it aint working (it just returns the year). my answer is correct as far as i can tell

never mind, used ]disp and it seems to be doubly nested

ahh, my ]box setting was not max, fixed it

]display if want full boxing temporarily

Another useful one is the new ]repr
