Abstract
The evolution of computer languages is compared with the evolution of natural languages. This suggests that APL might one day evolve to, or be replaced by, a non-declining form having only one basic syntax and only one class of object—as LISP has today. These “generalized objects” would embrace files, functions, and workspaces as we now know them. Such objects might be nested arrays with extended indexing and added features for sharing and access control.
