On: BQN: Finally, an APL for your flying saucer

[account-5]

I'm intending to learn an array language at some point. Im an avid listener to the Array Cast podcast.

As usual I don't know where to start, ideally open source. I'm stuck on whether it's J or BQN. J is ASCII, BQN has the traditional unicode glyphs. I do like the fact BQN is newer so can pick and choose the best of the array languages though.

> whether it's J or BQN

Any reason you're not considering APL?

I've personally found it the nicest set of characters - BQN's too spacey for me :)

'Best' is a matter of taste; for my money, j's semantics are better.

J also has far better educational materials than the others.
