what was your first programming language? mine was matlab. thinking of everything as an array, especially things that aren't arrays, was the first pattern I ever learned. I've never used APL in anger but for the most part it comes very easily to me. Maybe not the code golfing and/or idiomatic APL style that people like to post but, like, using the primitives to create increasingly elaborate arrays before discarding anything I don't want, that part has always felt very straight forward.
