       | My 2 cents on BQN: I am certainly a novice with array languages,
       | but I know they have conceptual power.                   Looking
       | for a modern, powerful language centered on Ken Iverson's array
       | programming paradigm              BQN aims to remove irregular
       | and burdensome aspects of the APL tradition, and put the great
       | ideas on a firmer footing.
       | 
       | And BQN seems like the closest thing to a 'modern' array
       | language. Modern, meaning, looking like my biased version of what
       | language should look like.

       | Open source, has namespaces, and you can define your own
       | operators and so on.
