What Affects Array Language Performance?
The Array Cast
Is Performance a Function of Apl and the Array Languages?
Marshall: In the domain in which apl and array languages operate for most cases performance isn't really the key thing people are reaching or using those languages for. I think because of that my kind of theory is that these languages evolved you know in a way such that that's not what the programming language implementers were concerned it wasn't their primary concern therefore you end up with languages that aren't extremely performant. When something like machine learning comes along which is just a bunch of matrix multiplication the language that is is chosen for that is not these array languages like apl j according to Marshall. He says if history had evolved differently so that there was a language in a Ray language maybe not
