You see similar cases being made with languages like q, the programming and query language for the kdb database. Arthur Whitney, the q-father, built an apl dialect called a+ at Morgan Stanley, which is still in use. RTL evaluation semantics aside, the argument I’ve heard for the terseness of the q language is that the interpreter is tiny so it fits inside a page. Okay, great, so use your words and kill the built-in webserver.
