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]. He continued on after IPSA was acquired by Reuters on 1987-04-01, and left Reuters in 1990 to found Snake Island Research. He works on APL compiler and parallel-processing technology to this day.
Bernecky holds the Master of Science degree from the University of Toronto[7].
