I've been working on a little array programming toy for a little bit. Published an intro blog post to it last night. I've spent the last few years smitten by array programming, but always finding it a tad bit unapproachable outside of profoundly boring (to me) corporate contexts. I'm attracted, though, to how spiky and terse array programming is, which feels very different to me than where I usually live in JS land. To make it more approachable, I made a little set of learning features loosely inspired by maria.cloud's approach. You can make tiny songs with it, too.

Interesting project! 😄 Array programming seems to be getting more attention lately. I'm also exploring this category of languages (only in my thoughts so far...) recently.

BQN's stuff is how I first got into array programming! Marshall's writing is some of the best out there that I've found that isn't super hyper duper super specifically geared towards math brains and quant folks

There's also Python's NumPy extension, which started out as a subset of APL in Python syntax. All that is still there, in addition to later Matlab-inspired functions which make the API as a whole a bit less consistent.

since that blog post about kiki, I've focused on addressing feedback from the array programming discord, and also making a bunch of stuff to make kiki more approachable (because it is sharp and pointy) • learn • hymns (intro material to kiki's live coding environment)
