APL- or J-style syntax for a general-purpose language?

Know of any attempts? I think it would be cool to replace all the reserved words and such with little symbols. Has anyone ever tried?

A J-style C, perhaps?

J is general purpose.

No, it's a language for math&science calc.

One word: THE J PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE

quicksort=: (($:@(<#[),(=#[), $:@(>#[))({~ ?@#))^: (1<#)

Are there any web browsers written in J?

J-style syntax

is a special case of haskell's monad/functor juggling.

You're not hoping to get anywhere near the space reduction, are you? Because you'd basically need APL/J/K for that. I've seen 10k lines of C reduced to 7 lines of K (granted it had to do with calculations in 3D.) Syntax isn't enough, you need the operations, and adverbs.

On the flipside I've found you get a small but significant fraction of APL in Perl 6, with hyper/meta ops. I don't know if there's a good concise way to handle rank intelligently. I suspect there is but I havne't given it much thought.

While J is full of monads, virtually every one can be called dyadically. This solves the problem neatly. Functor juggling is not typically done with monads, however. Some dyads are used but I think they're mostly done with adverbs. But I could be talking out of my ass.

But I could be talking out of my ass.

In Haskell, a "monad" is a type that implements a certain API. In J, a "monad" is an operator applied to one argument instead of two. They're almost unrelated concepts.

What does one lose from doing that?

>>12
less efficient, K is proprietary.

The only thing you really lose is readability, and then only to C programmers (which is the larger group.) It reads pretty well if you can read math. Note: the problem could have been described in just a few relations in mathematical notation.

He's yellow, actually. You will probably recognize him if you squint.

It's not who he is so much as what he's saying.

>>21
Sure, you write the HTML parser. There's libraries for everything else.

So a monad is just a unary operator, and a dyad a binary operator? Faggot terminology.
