On: Ask HN: Most Succinct Programming Language

[pfortuny]

In that vein I’d suggest J (or APL but J has ascii symbols). It will blow your mind and you will learn a lot of different ways of thinking about composition.

[_kb → pfortuny]

APL is dense, not succinct. If minimising LoC is the main design feature OP is looking for though it’s a great mind-opening example.

Yes, I did not know exactly what he meant, so I went for “shortness”, and “compact”.

[rak1507 → _kb]

APL is both dense and succinct, which both reduce code size. 'Regular' languages would be shorter with APL's semantics.
