@quephird the kids have to learn about m4 sooner or later

@inthehands @quephird that's too bad because the APL family is pretty interesting IMO. it'd be cool to see a variant that used a more approachable character set. Lil (the language used by Decker) does take some ideas from array languages but is more traditional-ish

@joe @quephird
Agreed! Iβm hoping they eventually get over the syntax shock enough to spot some of the cool stuff. In addition to the array stuff, APL-landβs version of point-free style is at the very least an interesting road not taken in language design.I know nothing about Lil. Must investigate.

@inthehands @quephird You definitely should check Decker out too! It's a pretty full-featured HyperCard successor that can deploy to the web and standalone native apps, and is designed to support reusable components and be approachable for non- or beginning programmers (much like HyperCard was)
