On: From Competitive Programming to APL

[adamgordonbell]

Host here. I came into this knowing more about competitive coding than APL but I found both interesting. The way these ICPC teams compete as a group and train is fascinating to me but this connection between APL and GPU programming was really something cool that I was not aware of.

Hi Adam. Thanks for doing the podcast. Listening to it is easily one of the most enjoyable parts of my life. I have also learnt so much about coding in general which I am pretty sure I would have never learnt.

Thanks for listening and thanks for encouragement. I really appreciate it.
