array languages are used by several companies for their work. K for example is pretty popular in fintech. Some present companies provide services for array languages as well. https://www.dyalog.com/case-studies/index.ht

I don't remember twitter having a serious vibe. It's a mess of vibes. Tumblr is also a big mess, but more on the goofy side. I don't think it would change much even with a twitter diaspora.

Seeing this snide and shallow comment, I think you could benefit from expanding your mind by learning J: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm

Let's change the first line: > One misconception is that languages like J are in the same caliber as less practical languages (esoteric languages like brainf*k) that use symbols more than words. The assumption is that these are most

J has much easier access to graphics with bindings to a window driver and OpenGL . APL also has support for GUI apps (Windows only) using .NET, but graphics takes some additional effort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC9fl

Well, yes, there's other languages like Julia, MATLAB and such if you want familiar, approachable syntax for array programming. Nial ( https://nial-array-language.org/ ), which is inspired by APL, mostly uses words inste

J isn't really made to be pretty. It's made to be terse and simple to read once given enough learning effort, and it's made to be a consistent keyboard typable notation.

K is the easiest popular array language due to its array model and its commitment to simplicity. Gets you into the habit of writing out strings of symbols instead of names, and although it holds your hand less, I'd say it's great

Hello, one of the maintainers of the wiki here. The major changes are generally divided into: K2-K4 K5-K6 K7-K9 From my knowledge. Each group has the same general primitives and syntax, and major changes happen between those eras. Since K&#

There are many, many array programmers who choose to write in a literate style. Popular code examples written for toy challenges often tend to be smart one liners whose algorithms cannot be easily put in multiple lines, so they may look unr

Some array programmers inspired by Arthur Whitney write code like this. I wouldn't call it an abomination per se, it's a specific style meant for a specific person. They find that way of writing C to be nice. It's somewhat po

It's all up to preference, really. It took me a while to get around my muscle memory from general imperative programming by the time I started using languages like K competently. Getting that motivation is definitely hard.
