What Hacker News says
2 sources> Array programming is similar to functional programming – the primary way to control execution involves composition of functions – but APL tends to encourage the reliance on global properties and sweeping operations rather than low-level recursion4.
This AoC solution is, indeed, quite the functionista! Better yet, it leans heavily into point-free expressions. The style is pretty popular amongst APL language enthusiasts and puzzlers.
That said, you actually see quite different APL styles in the wild:
- Pointed declarative style, also a popular with functional programmers (e.g. anything like this[0] from the dfns workspace)
- Imperative, structured programming, very common in legacy production systems (e.g. this[1] OpenAI API interface)
- Object-oriented, also common in somewhat newer production environments (e.g. the HTTP interface[2])
-
Read the rest
Data-parallel style (e.g. Co-dfns[3])
Heck, APL even has lexical and dynamic scope coexisting together. IMHO, it's truly underrated as a language innovator.
