Karsten Schmidt<p>Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:</p><p>“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how computer platforms run today.</p><p>Gary viewed computers as learning tools rather than profit engines. His career choices reflect a different definition of success, where innovation means sharing ideas, letting passion drive your work and making source code available for others to build upon. His work ethic during the 1970s resembles that of the open-source community today."</p><p><a href="https://computerhistory.org/blog/in-his-own-words-gary-kildall/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">computerhistory.org/blog/in-hi</span><span class="invisible">s-own-words-gary-kildall/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ComputerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/CPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPM</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/PersonalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>

Mathematicians found it easier to write something in APL than programmers, mainly because it used a special character set and keyboard. In Leeds University they used Decwriters with special keycaps with the symbols. These were a combination of keyboard and dot matrix printer. The picture below shows a standard Decwriter, I couldn't find an image of one with the APL keycaps, but I do have an image of the layout. The code looked like this example from <a href="https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Convex_Hull" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Convex_Hull</a></p><pre><code>ConvexHull←{ ⍝ ⍵: matrix (2 rows) of points - first row:abscissae second row:ordinates ⍝ return: matrix (2 rows) of points of convex hull ⍝ try: ConvexHull ⍉9 2⍴1 0,1 ¯10,3 3,2 1,6 3,1 6,3 1,6 1,9 0 ⍝ ⎕IO←0 pts←(⊂⍋⊃↓⍵)⌷[1]⍵ ⍝sort by x-values:first point←→start vertex phs←{ ⍝ 12○⍵ polar phase ○¯1&gt;≥○1. see DFNS x y←⊂[1↓⍳⍴⍴⍵]⍵ ⍝ x and y coordinates. x0 xn←1 0=⊂0=x ⍝ points on/off y axis. top←(x0×○0.5)+xnׯ3○(|y)÷x+x0 ⍝ upper quadrants.
