It literally stands for "A Programming Language". It's a computer programming language that used to be used pretty heavily in situations requiring a lot of math. I did some programming in it a very long time ago.
an example (I stole off the Internet because I couldn't do this now if I wanted to without studying it for a week)
throws←?10000⍴6
this one line greats a 10,000 element array and stores the basic result of thowing a single die 10,000 times.
Now by using
+/1=throws
You return the number of times 1 appears in those 10,000 throws.
