J & APL are elegant but not easy to get started with, and difficult to install. This looks like a newer, nicer, more open version.
Would be great to see some Advent of Code puzzles in Uiua..
- aarroyoc 3y agoBQN is also easier to get started. It's the only array language I ever tried because of that. Uiua seems to be inspired by BQN but it's also a stack-based language (BQN isn't).
- jonahx 3y agoIt seems heavily inspired by BQN, even the style of the web page.
- vanderZwan 3y agoCorrect: > The main language that inspired Uiua is BQN. While I had heard about APL before, BQN was my first real exposure to the power of the array paradigm. I think the language is an astounding feat of engineering. Marshall is both a genius and a great communicator. https://www.uiua.org/docs/design https://www.uiua.org/docs/design Also, a week ago there were only two contributors to the project: 1000+ by kaikalii, and this single commit by Marshall: https://github.com/uiua-lang/uiua/pull/1/files https://github.com/uiua-lang/uiua/pull/1/files
