Is APL Dead?

• BQN

  49 831 8.9 KakouneScript

  An APL-like programming language. Self-hosted!

I mean, given the number of new implementations of APL that are being actively worked on, there is clearly some interest.

The most prominent such dialect is BQN, which I definitely recommend anyone interested in APL-like languages to take a look at. https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/

APLwiki has a list of other languages: https://www.aplwiki.com/wiki/Language_overview#Dialects

Disclaimer, I'm the developer of one of these dialects so of course I'm biased.

Does trying to build a Youtube channel around J count as professional?

I've been livestreaming a presentation tool / time-travelling REPL for J for a few months now:

It hasn't paid anything directly yet, but my videos probably helped me land my current job.

At work, I use another APL-inspired language called K.
