Comment on APL: An Array Oriented Programming Language (2018)

Comments

In a round-about fashion I get interested in array languages because the relational model.

I tough an array is "just a column" and somewhere I get to K and that leads me to my current attempt to build a language that make both paradigms work: https://tablam.org

I think each paradigm complement and "fill" the mission pieces the other has. For example, you can name columns, that is alone very useful!

BTW kdb+ is also on this direction but the combination is `array then SQL/Relational` and mine is `Relational then Array`.
