I have always liked Lisp and array languages, so I am finding my footing with April, since it is very flexible. You can write predominantly in one or the other, but I am finding it easier to do the math and array stuff in APL, and the glue in Lisp. Right now I am experimenting with creating some generative art and music with CM (Common Music, a Lisp music composition system that lends itself well to creating algorithmic music) and using APL to create the patterns for CM as arrays and composed functions. I want to add graphics and animations to the code once I get CM working with April. I just started learning April, and I am having so much fun with it, I need to stay focused on my original task!

Another parallel for Rust is Rust and BQN. BQN is a new array language, and you can run it within Rust sort of like what April does for Lisp and APL.
