A plus

: For information on the A+ computer certification program, see the article entitled A Plus (note the upper case P ).

A+ is a powerful and efficient array programming language written at Morgan Stanley.

It is primarily used in a computationally-intensive business environment. A+ is an interpreted language, so applications tend to be quite portable.

A+ provides an extended set of functions and operators, a modern graphical user interface with a wide selection of widgets, automatic synchronization of widgets and variables, asynchronous execution of functions associated with variables and events, dynamic loading of user compiled subroutines, and other features. A newer graphical user interface has not yet been ported to all supported platforms.

The K programming language is the successor to A+, which does away with some of A+ s unnecessary complexities, such as the existence of statements and two different modes of syntax. But there are still devoted fans of A+, and it is constantly being ported to more and more operating systems, although development is slow.
