.NET with Dyalog APL on macOS?

[askom]

Dear all,

Shame on me, but I realized the .NET technology became open source and is available for Mac and Linux just now.

Is it possible to use .NET with Dyalog APL for macOS?

May you post or point to any examples?

Thanks a lot,
Sasha.

Hi Sasha

Currently no, it's not possible - and it's not something that we've looked at yet. However, that's not to say that we might not do something in the future ..

Hi Andy,

Why? There are toons of libraries, utilities and whatever over there. It have to be easy to realise, because it is .NET, very well known to Dyalog APL.

thanks,
sasha.

The problem is that it will require a complete new bridge between APL and .NET .. and that is not a straightforward task. If it were a question of just recompiling on macOS we would do it, but there's rather more to it than that.
