Ivy is an interpreter for an APL-like array language that works as an interactive calculator. It is written in Go and supports bignum arithmetic, floating point, text, and user-defined operators.

Use cases

  • run APL-style array calculations from the terminal
  • compute with arbitrary-precision bignum arithmetic
  • experiment with an APL-like language interactively
  • do quick vector and matrix math in a REPL
  • learn array programming with a simple interpreter

When to choose

  • you want an APL-like calculator without a full APL installation
  • you need exact big-integer or rational arithmetic in a REPL
  • you want a small, self-contained Go-based math interpreter

When to avoid

  • you need a production-grade, standards-compliant APL system
  • you need a GUI-first calculator experience
  • you need a stable language with long-term compatibility guarantees
