Polymorphic Programming Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Polymorphic Programming Language (PPL) was developed in 1969 at Harvard University by Thomas A. Standish. It is an interactive, extensible language with a base language similar to APL.
The '<-' (or '←') assignment operator has played an influence in the S programming language.[1]
