Our great sponsors
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Try APL
There is Aplette which supposedly integrates nicely with other Unix tools. It's a port/update of the earlier openAPL source code, which I think was done by Ken Thompson? Here:

The APL Orchard
If you're interested in recent developments in array languages, I recommend checking out:
BQN https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/
ngn/k https://git.sr.ht/~ngn/k/tree/master/item/readme.txt (Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22009241)
aplette, which is a modernization of Ken Thompson's APL https://github.com/gregfjohnson/aplette (Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21740536)
I'd also recommend checking out J, which isn't a recent development, but has the best syntax out of all array languages, has the best development environments, is the easiest to learn (it has a way to learn it built into the language itself!), and is the only one that treats making GUIs as a first-class feature: jsoftware.com (Has so many previous discussions I just recommend using HN search to find them.)
The chat is biased to Dyalog APL, but a lot of the modern additions Dyalog has made to the language make it (in my opinion) worse as a notation, so ideally don't let it turn you off of the concept of array languages entirely if Dyalog doesn't "click" with you.
If you haven't already, you should also check out Notation as a Tool of Thought, a paper so good it won Iverson the Turing Award:

Boehm-Demers-Weiser Garbage Collector
And it works great with WebAssembly! I was pleasantly surprised to be able to use this mature GC to power garbage collection for Go when compiled to Wasm.
https://github.com/wasilibs/nottinygc
What are some alternatives?
ngn-apl - An APL interpreter written in JavaScript. Runs in a browser or NodeJS.
sgcl - Smart Garbage Collection Library for C++
json - A tiny JSON parser and emitter for Perl 6 on Rakudo
proxy-wasm-go-sdk - WebAssembly for Proxies (Go SDK)
ride - Remote IDE for Dyalog APL
capsule - A Capsule application is a runner (or launcher) of wasm functions. Capsule HTTP can serve the functions through HTTP (it’s possible to use Capsule as a simple CLI with Capsule CLI). And soon: NATS and MQTT
APL.jl
go-re2 - Drop-in replacement for regexp using re2, for any Go app
array - Simple array language written in kotlin
bdwgc - The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative C/C++ Garbage Collector (bdwgc, also known as bdw-gc, boehm-gc, libgc)
vecty - Vecty lets you build responsive and dynamic web frontends in Go using WebAssembly, competing with modern web frameworks like React & VueJS.
