Strings are bad any ideas on how to make them less bad?

Man I haven't tried to golf APL (or any other language for that matter) for a long time

@ngn which numeric type do you have built-in to k? Are the 10 lines in k.0 all you need for bigints?

@ktye you mean 0.k, my library for project euler?

@ngn yes, I assume it's a library.

@ktye i have 64-bit ints

and also partially implemented 64-bit doubles but i don't use them

@ngn so int64 is for everything, no special handling for boolean?

@ktye yep, all ints are 64-bit. i didn't bother with implementing smaller types

@ktye afaik recent versions of the original k don't have bit booleans

@ktye js does that too

@ngn but I need complex numbers everywhere, so I put a large type system in iv

btw, Is there a way to start dyalog in the terminal?

the problem with that is that it will be slower (dyalog will surely beat you) for applications with small data because of the cost of accessing more memory. but on the other hand you could beat them at applications with varying data sizes, because they might have to convert too often between different int sizes

@ktye yes, if typing dyalog doesn't work, try mapl

or something like /opt/mdyalog/15.0/64/unicode/mapl, adjusted for your version

What happened to dyalog apl sharp (or #, not sharp/apl). I've seen a document to it's parser from 2011? Was it a research system, now discontinued, or is it part of current versions?

@ngn When I enter ./dyalog in msys shell, it's in console mode, but in cmd or powershell it opens the gui!

@ktye ah...

you're on windows :)

afaik, there isn't a terminal version there

@ngn but from msys2, it is in the terminal. And it's the same executable, I think.

@ktye well, i don't know. @Adám or @H.PWiz might be able to explain what's going on there

@ktye Dyalog APL# is not part of the current version of Dyalog. Pretty sure the effort has been discontinued for a long time.

It was never commercially delivered

@ngn Neat split trick and others, thanks

As always, it becomes perfectly clear once pointed out, but I just never think of these things in the first place
