I take your point that these are two separate concerns, and we do certainly see a) without b) with Numpy, Julia, Matlab, R and the like. Using these languages is a very productive experience, and I agree that a) is definitely the main drive

I had the same concern as you regarding the readibility of APL and J. But there is a wonderful quote in an interview with Arthur Whitney (0) of kdb+ fame in relation to this: BC To ask a slightly broader question, what is the connection be

That 1975 APL demonstration is lovely. Much has been preserved in Dyalog and GNU APL - it's very interesting to see how timeless the core APL functions are. I'm very fond of a number of videos by the late John Scholes narrating AP

You're pretty much spot on, and this is exactly the type of thinking we're looking for during our puzzle hunt. There's a slight difference between our system and what you've specified, but the overall picture is the same

You're on the right track! I think it's great how you're thinking about this. Without spoiling too much, it's a cellular automata that you're manipulating parameters for as it runs - so the genome itself doesn'

Thanks! We're a student group running an open puzzle hunt for medical/biomedical students who want to learn or practise coding. This is one of our puzzles based on a simplified cell automata model of a single heart ventricle. We u

There's a constructed language called Solresol which works on this idea. It uses the 7 notes of the major scale (or the solfege system) to communicate, and this simple fact makes it quite flexible because it could technically be projec
