Iverson College
Iverson College is a residential event for array programming (APL, J, k, q, et al.), and for people interested in what’s happening with vector programming.
We meet again in 2024 – for the first time since the Covid pandemic – back at our first venue, Trinity Hall in Cambridge, from 18–24 August.
We are implementors and developers, insiders and outsiders, experienced and new. For a week we live together as students. We bring our work, we do it, and we share it. There is no published programme.
Our informal talks are lively; they fit the moment and the conversation. Participants report that the time and space of our meetings nourish deeper and more useful conversations than conferences can.
Since our last meeting the Array Cast began. The podcast has connected us to more language designers than ever before. Most of the podcast team will be with us; our 2024 meeting looks like being the most eclectic yet.
In May 2017 we were at a villa outside Lucca in Tuscany. In October 2018 we returned to Milden Hall in Suffolk, and had guests for a weekend q masterclass.
There are 25 residential places for Cambridge in 2024; 12 are currently open.
