@PaulMansour No.
@PaulMansour I see little benefit in that, as it is just another inefficient format, but one that is more more rare. On top of that, it would sort-of imply that ⎕VGET can produce such a matrix, but it cannot, and I see no way to extend it to do so.
@PaulMansour It would have to prioritise between 'ab' 'cd' meaning ((,'a')'b')((,'c')'d') and ⊂'ab' 'cd'
@PaulMansour Ah, yes, or even m,⍛⎕VSET('One' 1) ('Two' 2) ('Three' 3)

Hi everyone!
Dyalog is applying for Google Summer of Code 2025 (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/). It is a program to promote open source software development where organisations with opensource projects apply and receive contributors from the platform who work on the project and they get a stipend.

For GSoC, Dyalog needs to make an idea list of projects we think will be good for contributors to work on. We would appreciate if the community would also take a look at the projects we have chosen, give their opinions on things that should be added or subtracted or changed from these ideas

@Adám But nowhere in ⎕VSET/⎕VGET is 'ab' allowed to mean either ((',a') 'b') or ('a' (,'b')) is it?
@Adám Noted, and I don't disagree.

n←'one' 'two' 'three'
        v←1 2 3
        s←() ⎕VSET n v
DOMAIN ERROR
Also
       s←()⎕VSET↓⍉↑n v
       s ⎕VGET n
1 2 3
       s ⎕VGET n v
DOMAIN ERROR
While the nested format is nice for examples, in real code we often have names and values in separate arrays.

Is there a use case for using a string literal with ⎕VSET? I'm wondering if or when that would every come up.
Other than in examples...

curious to know how beginners did problem 10 of the challenge, now that it's closed
