Array programming is the future and always will be (since 1958). Same as LISP.

APL and LISP both had the problem that they went straight to the (extreme) logical conclusions of a paradigm. Which is means you have to put an effort to actually derive the benefits be can’t just “wing it till you understand it” like you can in most other languages. Notably, C++ has left that club with C++14 (maybe even 11), but popular languages at the time of their popularity have always been there, and likely always will be.
