The APL/J/BQN family of array languages, or Prolog & other Horn clause languages. Both will change your idea of what’s expressible in a programming language.

- account-5 5y agoI'm not a programmer/developer by trade but I do like writing scripts to make my job easier. I'm looking into APL and Lisp type languages basically to expand my mind as up to now I've really only being using "traditional" type languages. It's like starting from scratch again.
- mst 5y agoThat's true for everybody, I think. I find "thinking in lisp, then writing the program out in X" where X is whatever 'mundane' language seems most suitable to the task is often a very effective technique. Array languages I've tried to learn repeatedly over the years and always ended up bouncing off, so have no opinion there except "personal aha moment not yet reached".
