I always wondered how one can start learning APL or similar array oriented language. Any suggestions? I'd like to give it a try!

- fishbacon 4y agoI think BQN is a lot of fun, it is an array language like APL, but it does some things different https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ the documentation is great. Dyalog APL is more of an actual APL, https://www.dyalog.com/ https://www.dyalog.com/ There is also J https://www.jsoftware.com/#/ https://www.jsoftware.com/#/ The array language community on discord "The Apl Farm" (https://discord.gg/SDTW36EhWF https://discord.gg/SDTW36EhWF) is pretty active. I also love the Arraycast podcast https://www.arraycast.com/ https://www.arraycast.com/ many amazing interviews and interesting discussions.

- moonchild 4y agoI think the j learning materials are best, particularly 'learning j' (https://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm https://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm), though others like 'j for c programmers' (https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm).

- j_not_j 4y agoThere is a book on Klong https://t3x.org/klong/book.html https://t3x.org/klong/book.html I've been using klong as it is small, quick to build and has good intro, reference and quick-reference. One downside is somewhat memory limited.
