…impossible to unlearn later such a convention, even if they encounter a superior convention. On the other hand, I am among those fewer for which this is not true, so when I have first read the book "A Programming Language" of K. Iverson, on which the later APL language and its successors have been based, I have immediately recognized that the Iverson convention is much better than the school convention, and I have no trouble…
Some people feel at home with APL (A Programming Language) or its descendants. It was first developed by Ken Iverson as a notation to be used on paper for communicating procedures and algorithms. It was the subject of a book published in 1962, then became a…
去读读《A Programming Language》吧，这就是 APL 的源头——https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Language-Kenneth-Iverson/...——你可能会更加理解它为什么会设计成这个样子。它就是把数学符号放进了……正如 Dijkstra 所说……

虽然算不上很有新意的建议，但原著（肯·艾佛森写的《A Programming Language》）应该挺合适的。
Not a very original suggestion, but the original book (“A Programming Language”, by Ken Iverson) would probably fit in.
……以后根本不可能改掉这种习惯，即便碰到了更好的写法也改不过来。另一方面，我属于少数没有被固化的那类人，所以当我第一次读到肯·艾佛森的《A Programming Language》（后来的 APL 语言及其后继者正是基于这本书）时，我立刻就意识到艾佛森的写法比学校教的那套好得多，我毫不费力就……

肯尼斯·艾佛森，《A Programming Language》（1962年）
Kenneth Iverson, "A Programming Language" (1962)
有些人对 APL（A Programming Language）或它的衍生语言情有独钟。它最早由肯·艾佛森开发，作为一种在纸上交流计算过程和算法的数学符号系统。他在 1962 年出版的一本书中对其做了阐述，后来演变成了……

非常棒的资源。我最近刚好在读艾佛森的《A Programming Language》——我得把这个也加进我的书单里。
Very cool resource. I've just been reading Iverson's "A Programming Language"-- I'll have to put this one on my list.
