What Makes a Language an Array Programming Language?
The Array Cast
What Is the Essence of an Array Programming Language?
30x episodes later, we talk about what makes a language and an array programming language. Stephen: K and Q don't really have a concept of rank the same way that J, APL, and BQN have. Niaw is spelled N-I-A-L; where can I ever send it as underground? We're interested to hear what the panelists here think.
