Single-letter proglangs are either symbol-based imitations of obfuscated toy languages (which in turn are just APL for millenials), or misguided attempts to ``fix'' C because the developer does not agree with a minor design decision.

The idea from Iverson pushed far. I do think notation improves thought and it is a very good notation paired with a very good implementation.

From the mailing list: wc, faster than the haskell version.

Neither of those really applies to S or R.

Anon forgot about the third family of single-letter languages: redditesque statistical tools.

I'm currently writing a highly autistic toy language. I tried to write a wc, but my split isn't working correctly (it's just using python's split under the hood), so this counted lines instead of words.

|$ split count @|

This does a transfer from | (stdin/out) to the general data queue ($), split (with no params) does a default python split (or should do, count counts, but outputs to the @ queue, and @| transfers that to stdout.

Are you reimplementing Symta in Python?

Not heard of it, but no. More like forth with queues instead of stacks. I'll make a thread when it's ready for an early release.
