This article introduces the first part of a series where the author builds a simple APL interpreter in Python, inspired by Ruslan Spivak's classic tutorial on Pascal interpreters. It outlines the initial goals, such as parsing basic numbers and vectors, and provides access to the source code for readers to follow along.
Background
APL (A Programming Language) is a high-level, array-oriented programming language known for its concise syntax and powerful mathematical operations. Building interpreters is a common educational exercise to understand compiler design and language semantics.
