'''ELI'''<ref name="website">[httphttps://fastarray.appspot.com/ ELI - official site] Hosted on Google App Engine</ref> is an interactive [[array programming]] computer language system based on [[APL (programming language)|APL]]. It has most of the functionality of ISO APL standard, and also list for non-homogeneous or non-rectangular data, complex numbers, symbols, temporal data, and control structures. A scripting file facility is available to organize programs in a fashion similar to using #include in C, which also provides convenient data input/output. ELI has dictionaries, tables and a basic set of [[SQL]]-like statements. For performance, ELI offers a compiler restricted to flat array programs.

By replacing each APL character with one or two [[ASCII]] characters, ELI retains APL's succinct and expressive way of array programming compared with [[MATLAB]] or [[Python_(programming_language)|Python]], ELI encourages a [[Dataflow_programming|dataflow style of programming]] where the output of one operation feeds the input of another.
