I don't think this has been posted here before. I just got through this talk by
Dyalog's CTO, Morten Kromberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlM9BXfu7UY
J gets a little mention in the Q&As, around the 1 hour mark. As someone who
knows no APL, the talk was interesting,especially the mnemonics for remembering
the APL symbols (Log is a" log cross-section" etc). However, I don't think
enough was shown about the benefits of using APL over any other language /
system. Kromberg could have elaborated on the types of problems APL solves
more, and why it might be better to use APL over other options in these cases.
