Robert (Bob) Bernecky is a Canadian computer scientist notable as a designer and implementer of APL. His APL career started at I.P. Sharp Associates (IPSA) in 1971. [1]
Bernecky's first published APL work concerned with speeding up the iota and epsilon (index-of and membership) primitives functions by orders of magnitude. [2] While at IPSA, he was a colleague of Roger Hui, [3] Dick Lathwell, [4] Eugene McDonnell, [5] Roger Moore, Arthur Whitney, and APL inventor Ken Iverson. [5] [6] [7]
He continued on after IPSA was acquired by Reuters on 1987-04-01, and left Reuters in 1990 to found Snake Island Research. He conducts research into functional array languages, APL compiler, and parallel-processing technology to this day.
Bernecky holds the Master of Science degree from the University of Toronto. [8]
