What's that weird APL derivative called that quants love so much? Julia? Reminds me a little of that, in the syntax at least. A little like MUMPS, too, maybe, and probably closer to that level in terms of its abstractions.
- mjaniczek 2y agoYou probably mean K. J is also up there, but more educational and less "let's make some money".
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoJulia != J. Or K. Or anything like either of those. It's not an array language. It's a very readable language that anybody who knows Python etc could understand and has nothing to do with any of this. EDIT: LOL, downvotes why?
- Blackthorn 2y agoDownvotes are because the person you are replying to was talking about J, not Julia.
- cmrdporcupine 2y agoBeh. The first person said Julia (wrong). Then the reply assumed that parent meant J, but did not correct parent about Julia, leaving the misconception in place. Which I clarified.
- omaranto 2y agoYou replied to the wrong person, then.
- anyfoo 2y agoNo, I think they tried to correct them about that by saying "J is also up there" (implying "in contrast to Julia"), but I agree that that wasn't very clear, and that your clarification, even if it was under a wrong assumption, did help a lot. I stumbled across this as well.
- acka 2y agoI think that the point was that Julia isn't APL-like at all while J and K are, very much so in fact.
