APL

APL, or A Programming Language, is a high-level language designed for mathematical and array-based computing. It uses unique symbols and concise notation to perform complex operations on arrays—multi-dimensional collections of data—often enabling solutions to mathematical, engineering, and scientific problems more efficiently than traditional languages. APL's key strength is its ability to represent and manipulate large datasets compactly and intuitively, making it popular among specialists who need rapid, powerful data analysis and manipulation capabilities.
