I'm thinking Julia could be a good fit. It's garbage collected, pretty fast, and designed for numerical work.

  And Julia has APL.jl, implementing APL within Julia, with the beautiful APL characters, using string macros. This library might contain some ideas for implementing your array language.

    Agree with both of you: I've been planning to do an embedded BQN for Julia (as well as finish my NumPy one), and having found APL.jl in this thread it looks like a pretty good resource. There are some missing syntax features in the compiler that I'd like to finish first. If anyone else is interested in working on a Julia VM I think this would be a pretty cool project, and a nice way to learn some of how bytecode interpreters are implemented without getting into the weeds in a low-level language. Join the forums and ask about it!
