I like array programing, and I think that it is an extremely nice and convenient tool for the right task. The grandparent is right, “it's remarkable that even many experienced programmers know nothing about array languages”. I wish more people learned about them!
And that is precisely why I find statements like “I'm hoping array programming is going to break into the mainstream” very annoying - it is not 1970’s anymore, you don’t get to pretend your only options are APL or write matrix multiplication by hand, every time. There are entire university departments full of people who only know matlab. You cannot just pretend they don’t exist.
I wish there was an modern tutorial which compares K to something like numpy or matlab.
- yiyus 7y ago> I wish there was an modern tutorial which compares K to something like numpy or matlab. That's a very reasonable request. In my opinion, one of the problems with array languages is the lack of introductory material. If you know a good tutorial that includes numpy and Matlab, I may try to add k and/or j. Any suggestion?
