Arthur Whitney is a Canadian computer scientist best known for developing three programming languages inspired by APL: A+, k and q. He studied pure mathematics at graduate level at the University of Toronto, was introduced to APL as a boy by its inventor Ken Iverson, and worked at I. P. Sharp Associates before joining Morgan Stanley in 1988, where he built A+ to move APL applications from IBM mainframes to Sun workstations. In 1993 he co-founded Kx Systems to commercialize k, and he later co-founded Shakti Software.
