Would it make sense to think of this as a compact syntax for numpy? When it comes to array operations, are there differences that go deeper than the syntax?
KlongPy has a lot of other features beyond pure NumPy operations (such as IPC and web server), which you could see as a kind of making use of array operations in some application. You could look at the core Klong language as what you suggest.
Is the full rendered documentation available anywhere?

https://github.com/briangu/klongpy/blob/main/docs/quick-star... links to an "API Reference" and a "REPL Reference", but the links are broken.

Not yet. I want to make an online book.
why are so many array programming alternatives to numpy/scipy popping up recently? Is there a fundamental flaw or showstopper in numpy?
Numpy is just the backend and KlongPy has a lot more application features than Numpy. You can see something like kdb+ as inspiration.
On Linux rlwrap is used to get the REPL working. Is possible to get the REPL working under PowerShell in a Windows box too?
I don’t use windows so not sure.
