@rak1507 yeah :/ I'll stick to less changes per post, so I can make the posts smaller in size and more frequent

I'm glad you're doing it again, I learn a lot from reading it

Sorry if you were really waiting for it :P

I might steal borrow some of your code to try making my own APL dialect

ah damn it how do you do strikethrough

Thanks @rak1507! I also learn a lot from doing it :P especially when I find mistakes and have to redo portions of the code ahaha

@rak1507 ---steal---

@rak1507 I don't think I added it yet, so let me add a nice open-source license to the code. Feel free to fiddle with ti

@dzaima thanks

test

@rak1507 no markdown in multiline messages

Right, weird

@rak1507 nice suggestion but if alpha does have a shape, I might want to use omega's shape

e.g. alpha is a scalar and omega is not

Aren't the two equivalent?

@rak1507 the two expressions?

yeah

maybe I'm missing something

bit confused

they are not, look:

your suggestion gives []

Ahh makes sense, I get it now, thank you

sure o/

may not be as practical, but you might also consider leaving a comment with questions/suggestions at the end ;) to foster future readers' engagement

Why would I make a fool of myself in your comments when I could here instead ;)

@rak1507 xD

Might give the exercises a shot tomorrow, hmm what do I have, economics? Perfect

@dzaima FYI I just split the block type (f/m/d) and immediacy into separate variables in the compiler instead of adding them up. That seems to be cleaner, so I now weakly recommend struct-of-lists, because it's what the compiler naturally produces.

'make a distinction between ⍳5 and ⍳,5 so that ⍳,5 returns 5 1-item vectors instead of 5 scalars -- this also needs , to be implemented;', for me (⍳5)≡(⍳,5)

@rak1507 in dyalog, yeah, due to historical reasons. They really shouldn't be equal though

Ah

I still am a bit unsure about the difference between 1 item vectors and scalars tbh

@rak1507 a 1-item vector has the shape ,1, but a scalar has shape ⍬

historically the two have acted similarly, because something something people were lazy something something ⊃ didn't exist yet

@rak1507 a scalar is APLArray([], 2) and a 1=item vector is APLArray([1], 2) :)

@rak1507 like look at how ugly this is

Yeah that does seem inconsistent

@dzaima your point would be even stronger if you included ≡⍳0⍴1

@RGS right
