Abstract
Some ten years ago M. H. Halstead and his collaborators at Purdue University set up a theory allowing to measure the characteristics of software and their relations. One of these characteristics is the language level allowing to compare the respective effects of these languages on the productivity of programming. This language level has been evaluated for APL by the author (APL81) and by R. A. Mauri and A. H. Williams (APL82), the latter taking into account the distinction in APL between primitive functions and operators. The results are compared and some reflections are given.
