   Rewrite of Arthur Whitney's one-page J interpreter in Rust

   

   Well, I read:

   http://nsl.com/papers/origins.htm

   https://github.com/zserge/odetoj

   And watched a few neat videos on the concepts of APL. There's a black and white one on YouTube of a British fellow introducing it using a typewriter. :)

   I vaguely get it, my beef with BQN besides being slow is that it is fledgling. And so I have no real excuse to play with it. Otherwise it seems like a holy grail, like, woah finally an APL/J/K to rule them all.

   I've seen enough wide eyed salty lispers telling tales of white whales to fear for my sanity going on this quest.

6. Co-dfns

   5 26 764 9.0 APL

   High-performance, Reliable, and Parallel APL

   

   There are many styles of APL, not just due to its long history, but also because APL is somewhat agnostic to architecture paradigms. You can see heavily imperative code with explicit branching all over the place, strongly functional-style with lots of small functions, even object-oriented style.

   However, given the aesthetic that you express, I think you might like https://github.com/Co-dfns/Co-dfns/. This is hands-down my favorite kind of APL, in which the data flow literally follows the linear code flow.

    The practical relational programing language for data-oriented applications

    

    In a round-about fashion I get interested in array languages because the relational model.

    I tough an array is "just a column" and somewhere I get to K and that leads me to my current attempt to build a language that make both paradigms work: https://tablam.org

    I think each paradigm complement and "fill" the mission pieces the other has. For example, you can name columns, that is alone very useful!

    BTW kdb+ is also on this direction but the combination is `array then SQL/Relational` and mine is `Relational then Array`.
