I made a program that calculates the standard deviation of a list of numbers:

λ1|:∑$L/; £mean_function
@std_dev:data|
	¥data ¥mean_function ⍎
	¥data $ - ĵ ¥mean_function ⍎ √
;

It's a lambda and a normal function

Example usage:

⟨16|34|29|80|65|77|91|58|67|40⟩ @std_dev; `The standard deviation of the data is: `, , `\n`,

And golfed:

λ:∑$L/;£f@s:d|¥d¥f⍎¥d$-ĵ¥f⍎√;

⟨16|34|29|80|65|77|91|58|67|40⟩ @s; `The standard deviation of the data is: `, , `\n`,

^ they both produce the same result

With an average built-in and context vars, it becomes @s:1|nÑn$-ĵÑ√;

If it's a full program, it becomes Ñ?-ĵÑ√

I prefer the first one though for it's readability

Oh, and
