Nial seems to be of the APL/J family but not as complete as J. Something
particularly interests me is I can define user function in Chinese and can
use Chinese variable names too. (Both on Windows XP).
數 := 23 34
均 IS OPERATION A {sum A / tally A}
均 數
28.5
Another one is the website says the speed may compare with C (I've not seen
any benchmarks yet).
