Variation on Iota
Ooh, I've run into this one before! I'm a big fan of interval index[0], which performs a binary search, so Josh's suggestion is the one I prefer as well. Searching for +`≠¨ in my BQN files turns up a few uses, including one used to group primitives into types in a utility involved in compiling BQN[1] and an annotated function used a few times in the markdown processor that builds BQN's website[2].

Ask HN: What is a programming language that you don't use at work but enjoy?
BQN[1] (an APL variant). There is something really beautiful/elegant to me about composing higher order functions in a purely point free way. Array programming is a nice application of this, and this one has the best ergonomics.

Bare minimum atw-style K interpreter for learning purposes
I recommend checking BQN at https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ and the YouTube channel code_report by Conor Hoekstra (and also "Composition Intuition by Conor Hoekstra | Lambda Days 2023"). It is well documented.
