totally agree with the article. I've stuck with APL for years. Can do anything I want efficiently.

BTW, building a web framework using APL. Anyone care to help?

Just curious, what version of APL and what does your answer to the Arc challenge look like?

A web-style APL should let you do something like that as tersely as APL lets you compose operations like +.×/ for the inner product.
