I don't think I did anything special. I just uninstalled "Notepad", and that revealed the good old Notepad.

Yes, it can also a fork where A is an array while B and C are function and a tacit atop where either B is a monadic operator and A its array or function operand or A is a function …

Think "normal" call syntax like foo(bar(baz(42))) and then remove the superfluous parens foo bar baz 42 The expression is evaluated from right to left. Now, let's make two of the f…

APL brings another couple of ternaries (besides for those mentioned with regards to J): x f[k] y This one is universal among traditional APLs (though some modern APLs, including J,…

Correct. Now try parsing `x (f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6) y`!

It was about APL that Alan J. Perlis said "A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing." (number 19 of https://cpsc.yale.edu/epigrams-p…

Have you looked at dfns ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_function )? They allow you something very similar. Compare Dijkstra's GCL: if a To an APL dfn with "guards": c ← { a …

I wrote a program to launch and kill tight loop threads such that Windows Task Manager's performance graph would spell out text (though of course with spaces below lines in letters…

No, it appears on page 210 (logical page 220).

It is indeed Dyalog APL (evident by certain features used, and also what Co-dfns requires). And yes, I agree, especially since this uses the ".apl" file extension of GNU APL, rathe…

That's actually a historical quirk, because modern keyboards have = where old APL keyboards had × and - where old APL keyboards had +. You'd press Shift+ for - and Shift× for ÷ mea…

Dyalog APL's RIDE interface doesn't even need you to find the symbol on a language bar; just hover the mouse over it, and a tooltip appears: https://i.imgur.com/XtzRGUs.png

That's a very good point, but it requires a lot of code: light dark input:checked{position:relative;z-index:1} input+input{margin-left:-1em} It is ugly, hard to style right, doesn'…

Please don't support making switches be an alternative to checkboxes, since it isn't clear what the current state means. I do like the idea of switches, but they should only be use…

But to me as a relatively experienced APLer, it reads very clearly as "return if there are no non-ASCII chars in `w`" (and if there are, the indices of those chars will be stored i…

J is quite stable. In a set of simple examples, everything would be backwards compatible.

Seems a bit strange to put spaces around (some!) J primitives, but not around K primtives.
