 Rampoina | In reply to @dzaima:matrix.org
for an O(n^2) solution I had this BQN: {{β0βΎΛ/π©>βπ©}Β¨ Β―1ββπ©} why not β1β instead of β0βΎΛ ? | 14:56:27 |
 dzaima | cause I prefer to not think in fills :p | 14:58:07 |
| dzaima | (plus it's trivial to switch to say β instead of 0) | 14:58:26 |
| Rampoina | I guess, but it feels a bit adhoc to me | 15:00:41 |
| Rampoina | I'd even prefer ββx but I think that might have performance problems? | 15:01:12 |
| dzaima | yeah, and doesn't work if x is a function and you want to get said function instead of calling it | 15:02:08 |
 Marshall | I'd use 0β£Β΄ here. Although sadly that doesn't translate to 0β’Β΄ to get the last value, it would always return 0. | 15:09:47 |

| tikhokhodka | What apl-like programming language would you recommend if in case I didn't like it I would abandon the idea of learning array programming?
Not trying to be aggressive, just don't want to end up in a situation where I didn't like it because I didn't do it right, instead of the subject being not interesting. | 19:03:37 |
 twobular | i don't think there is a single array lang that can be recommended for that purpose. there is a lot of variation among array langs | 19:08:04 |
 vem_ | tbh I got into J because I wanted to explore the APL world, but I haven't become that skillful with arrays. | 19:11:17 |
| twobular | if you don't like a lang it might be because of something that other langs have fixed, or it might be because of something that happens in all array langs. it's impossible to say | 19:11:29 |
| vem_ | I want to! Lots of the papers published are quite lucid... | 19:11:34 |
| tikhokhodka | I want to go with bqn because it's packed with features | 19:13:27 |
| twobular | if something speaks to you then try it out! | 19:13:46 |
 vendethiel | you're bound to learn things | 19:13:55 |
| vem_ | I need to revisit BQN now that I figured out keyboard input. | 19:13:58 |
 panadestein | Packed with features? | 19:14:24 |
| vem_ | BQN has a lot of enthusiasm, there's a nice IDE and language servers are cool. | 19:16:07 |
| panadestein | BQN is the only array lang I know, and I recommend it all the time. It is my favorite language, actually | 19:17:34 |
| vem_ | BQN's glyphs are really neat. | 19:18:19 |
| twobular | if you try bqn and there's something you don't like or don't understand, you should ask about that thing here. then the bqn understanders can help you figure out if there is a solution to your problem, or if array langs aren't the best choice for what you want | 19:18:22 |
| vem_ | bqncrate is cute too | 19:33:10 |

BQN's glyphs are really neat.
In the appropriate font. I discovered I enjoyed BQN much more after I
installed the BQN385 font. In the font I was using before all the
1-modifiers were to thin and small to see clearly and I kept screwing
up. π
