Fluent is attacking multiple problems. On the surface, it blends APL and LISP. Making S/M-exprs terse and building “diamond-less” left-to-right APL on top. This part is pretty okay. In core, unification of FRP and AD as already mention

I mentioned GOTO in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47975982 Dijkstra was highly influential in theoretical (proofs, algos) and practical (spec&compiler for Algol60) compuper science. But in reality h

Interesting. Bird-Meertens formalism? That was directly influenced by APL. In the broader scope — algebra of programs — Dijkstra heavily disliked Backus’ FP.

Very interesting flip! For much of his life, Dijkstra opposed functional programming. He even more strongly criticised FP from Backus and APL from Iverson, which are both very funcional/function-level. As he said, Java is a mess and an

Oh, he would definitely hate it even more. It was too high-level for his taste. What I would like to know is how he would bend Algol 60 if he had tablet with pencil that could evaluate it in real-time.

Dijkstra's go-to language (pun intended) was Algol 60 (& Pascal) – everything else was shit in his view. Some of his comments: FORTRAN — "an infantile disorder" COBOL — "the use of COBOL cripples the mind" BASIC

This is a good idea. Monadic/dyadic case for single glyph works nice only when you have a default value associated with it. For example `√16` is actually `2√16`. Or `log 100` is `10 log 100`. And `-3` is `0-3`.

Pure visual object tracking in visionOS is considerable laggy (even with increased detection rate). Natively tracked peripherals (Logitech Muse, PSVR2 controllers) are super responsive, but are designed for hands and are too specialized. Th

You are exactly right that the original vision of APL was a handwritten, non-ambiguous, consistent, and executable math notation. This was never accomplished. In 2021, I made a prototype calculator designed for iPad and Pencil and wrote fou

I have a project using tfjs and jax-js is very exciting alternative. However during porting I struggle a lot with `.ref` and `.dispose()` API. Coming from tfjs where you garbage collect with `tf.tidy(() => { ... })`, API in jax-js seems
