The APL Farm (invite links: Discord, Matrix) is a group of Discord and Matrix channels dedicated to the discussion of array programming. As of January 2023, the Discord server has reached 796 members, and the Matrix rooms have a total of 292 unique members.

The APL Farm is intended as a welcoming space for APL and non-APL users alike. The main channels that are bridged together across Matrix and Discord are:

  • General discussion (#main on Discord, #aplfarm:matrix.org on Matrix)
  • APL
  • J
  • BQN
  • K
  • Nial
  • Off-topic (named "Index Error" on Matrix)

In addition to these, the Discord server has rooms for self-promotion, code challenges and music discussion.

Many new users have joined The APL Farm as beginners, often from sources like YouTube videos and the Array Cast. Some array language veterans and implementors like dzaima, Marshall Lochbaum, Adám Brudzewsky, Morten Kromberg, Michal J Wallace and John Gibbons frequent the server.
