The advantages (and disadvantages) of on‐line debugging have been discussed extensively in the profession. We propose to couple APL with the debugging process. Techniques for ‘translating’ other languages into APL are presented, and the trade‐off between the cost of this translation process and the benefits to be gained by debugging in APL are discussed in terms of an actual PL/1 programming project.
