The front page there has examples like “÷3/+∿⊞×⊟×1.5.220×τ÷⟜⇡&asr” - is that closer to noise, or does it actually look more readable than K once you get used to both? I’m kind-of intrigued by the built-in multimedia output, but still this language looks scary and impractical at first glance. How does it compare to using numpy & jupyter? Do a lot of people prefer the extreme tenseness over using typeable keywords? I’m curious why it lets you type the readable operators but wants to turn them into glyphs; wouldn’t it be more approachable, more readable, and make more maintainable code, if it just used the keywords instead of glyphs?

Well firstly you can just type keywords and they get swapped by glyphs

Secondly, the power with Uiua is you can easily split up that expression literally by just hitting enter in some spots (and line swapping but…). You can give names

And finally if you are constantly doing operations across arrays it can be more legible to go a symbol like approach, like how most people prefer x+y to add x y. The conciseness helps you build up larger expressions before you need to break things up.
