Yeah, ever since running into this little snippet eons ago, I've found the symbols are better argument for APL style languages quite weak: http://nsl.com/papers/kisntlisp.htm Since the arity of all the primitives are known there's less parens than lisp. That seems like the clear sweet spot to me. And I think this is born out with K the product. One of the things they added with Q is a more text oriented syntax. The big a-ha in APL style languages is shifting from thinking about loops and iterating over single elements to transforming tensor like objects. It's a powerful approach no matter what language and syntax you use. |
