Great and wide-ranging discussion about symbols (represented by languages like APL) vs words (represented by languages like q) in array languages.

Explore the efficiency of array programming at #LambdaConf2024 with @Max_ErinMills. Learn how APL stands as a concise alternative to #NumPy. Perfect talk for those new to #APL. 🔥 Grab Your Early Bird Ticket before Jan. 21st! ➡️ https://t.co/VTGqSgfVy3

Advent of Code 2023 Day 7 (part 1) comparison between (Dyalog) #APL, #Kap, and base #rstats https://t.co/oEOH4tuvRV -- in which I detail an elegant array solution. I'm all in for learning the APL glyphs, now!

RSVP for our C++ #Meetup on November 21 at 6:30 pm (JST) at our Tokyo office! Join us for a joint presentation from @RCS and @barrelshifter to learn about improving optimization. 👋 RSVP by November 14, 12pm! https://t.co/EakPePOCL4

New post: Now You're Thinking with Arrays in which I realise that I got into programming while exclusively learning languages with something interesting in common. https://t.co/9TjNs4pBwi (shoutout to @code_report)

Say you write an R interpreter from scratch and you allow yourself to make breaking changes. What would you break and what would you keep? #rstats

Some dataframe history: 'Statistical Models in S' (1991) is the book that first mentions dataframes. From Monday Morning Data Chat podcast episode 135: Dataframe Deep Dive w/ Devin Petersohn.

Most popular array programming languages 🥳 https://t.co/TmQJqDg7Ag

Domain modeling with types in #Python: https://t.co/OPAG4drxdW

I wrote a short article about q, a language that's surprisingly similar to #rstats (built-in data frames etc.). https://t.co/nM9Haes3Sb

Following extensive discussions, there is now a formal proposal for APL Array Notation. Read about the proposal and access it at https://t.co/dwhqoll1xA – we would appreciate your feedback before we proceed with our implementation.

Yesterday at the Tokyo APL/J/K Meetup we solved some problems with the q programming language. It has lots of nice features, like implicit function parameters and partial function application.

Registration is now open for APL Seeds '23, a free online user meeting on 22 March 2023 from 14:00 UTC. For more information and to register, see https://t.co/StnUxhlmMX

As an #rstats tidyverse fan, I like how concise q's querying syntax can be for operations on data frames ('tables' in q).

Has anyone out there used #rstats and q (for the #kdb database)? I think there's some parallel evolution between the two but the communities don't overlap much. I'm interested to hear thoughts from anyone who's used both. Whether they feel similar, their respective strengths etc.

@BarryRevzin @arraycast And of course there is the hidden gem of a talk by the infamous Roger Hui (implementer of J) entitled "What is Functional Programming?" where he uses legos to illustrate combinators in J https://t.co/st1pLS85YY

#vscode #rstats extension v2.7.0 released! New syntax highlighting, help preview in package devlopment, code block detection more consistent with #rstudio, and some bug fixes.

Short video that nicely demonstrates the conciseness that can be achieved by eliminating repeated code via combinators.

If you use VS Code, like that it detects R code blocks and wished that it could do the same for Python code blocks ... now it can thanks to @kylebarron2!
