If the development of LYaPAS began in 1962, how could it possibly be inspired by A Programming Language which had only just been published? Adám Brudzewsky (talk) 11:16, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

Good question. I think, this is some kind of mistake, probably attributed to Wikipedia. LYaPAS indeed looks very different from APL to me.
I think, it might have developed from Klaus Samelson's ideas of "A formula-controlled computer" (1957, see the article by Knuth and Trabb Pardo [1], p. 90). It was presented in 1955 in Dresden, a territory controlled by Soviet Union, so this influence is much more plausible than that of APL.
