I mean, sure, why not, and I'm not opposed to using array languages as a fun hobby (which seems to be the spirit of this). I just noticed that the selling points in the introduction to the manual were not very compelling to me as a Matlab/Numpy user, and since sometimes people bemoan that array languages aren't more widely used, I just wanted to say, hey we do have powerful "array languages" that imo are strictly better on things that matter for most real work, so it's not surprising.

To be clear, you are referring to the preface to "An Introduction to Array Programming in Klong", right? Having just checked it, I find this to be a very strange angle of attack, because that section is almost exclusively about why the syntax in particular is important. Obviously you disagree (I also think the syntax is overblown, and wish more writing focused on APL's semantic advantages over other array-oriented languages). I think this is a simple difference in taste and there's no need to reach so far for another explanation.
