APL language support in Atom

This package adds Atom support for everybody's favourite array-wrangling crypto-language.

Do you even ⍨, bro?

Roadmap

Still to come:

  • Input method editors:
    Shortcuts, customisable virtual keyboards, ASCII-to-APL substitution typing modes.

  • Inline documentation:
    Stuff to remind you what each APL symbol does.

Font Support

No APL symbol fonts are bundled with this package. Anybody interested in APL is assumed to already have supporting fonts installed. Furthermore, Windows and Mac OS both ship with fonts that support APL symbols (Arial Unicode MS and Menlo, to name two), so you'll probably be fine.

If the characters aren't displaying correctly, try installing any or all of these:

Side-note: I recommend installing Symbola anyway, even if you think you don't need it. Noto Sans Symbols is highly‑recommended as well. Install them both to dispel tofu!
