What Makes a Language an Array Programming Language?
The Array Cast
Iversonian Languages vs Array Languages
Every programming language pretty much has arrays of some sort. Many languages don't really have any facilities to directly work on arrays. If I remove the ability to operate on the entire arrays in Q and K, you can't do anything anymore. The question is, is it inside the Iversonian languages circle?
