And then Pike begins by saying he doesn't know much about APL.
That's really weird, since he did implement a calculator that uses a dialect of APL: https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Ivy
I think he’s sort of being humble and also admitting that he’s not a true expert. It’s clear he has more than a passing familiarity with APL.
it doesn't seem like he knows much about anything really
