>A lot of smart people only engage with APL via toy puzzles I think part of this is because that is how most (possibly all) sources teach APL and array languages, solving puzzles and manipulating arrays. If you learn to write programs in an Algol derived language, you can write programs in most common languages without having to learn how to write programs, you just need to learn the language. Modern array languages sort of allow us to use them like the Algol derived languages, but this does not seem to work out so well and often does not work to the strengths of array languages. |
