The Array Cast – A podcast about the array programming languages
I had thought of APL as something from computing pre-history, with its bizarro custom keyboard, but I learned that APL and other array languages are apparently alive and well.  Will subscribe to the podcast.<p>Two quotes the hosts brought up stuck with me:<p>(at 15:05) &quot;A language that doesn&#x27;t change the way you think is not a language worth learning&quot;. From Alan Perlis [1], and his Epigrams in Programming (#19) [2]<p>(at 16:49) &quot;it is a privilege to learn a language&#x2F; a journey into the immediate&quot;.  From poet Marilyn Hacker [3]; totally captivating idea, even if not not about programming languages [4]<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alan_Perlis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Alan_Perlis</a>
