Re: APL & Programming Concepts

"I thought datatypes where implicit in APL." Indeed they are, much as
with JavaScript, VBScript, etc.
APL does have another twist, that you do not need to 'declare' a
variable.

var name = @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"APL"; // compiler resolves it as a string

etc.

In APL it is simply

name<-'APL'

If you are using APL to teach programming concepts (of which data
typing is a part), how would you impart the concept from an APL
environment/workspace?

APL does have means of coercing data into strong types, []DR, but this
is too specialised a context and is very APL-centric.
