BQN is an array language similar to APL, it has 2 VM runtimes, one in javascript (for this engine) and one in C.

BQN stands for Big Query Notation language, but is a play on being better than APL -> BQN

There should be a warning before a Web page captures keyboard input and prevents browser hot keys from working.

Unfortunately (missed opportunity):

        "APL"+1
    "BQM"

Unfortunately (missed opportunity): "APL"+1 "BQM"

"Big Questions Mnotation"

The retcon is that it's not "APL"+1, but "APL"+Fibonacci.

'Mnemonic' almost makes sense, you could even leave it as BQN and claim the m is silent.

BQNPAD can also use CBQN via the VM dropdown at the top right (but CBQN doesn't support live previewing unlike BQN.js).

Also, "Big Questions Notation", not "Query". Not that it matters much.

Python:

  "".join(chr(ord(c)+1) for c in "APL")
  → 'BQM'
