anyone here have experience implementing an array based language, i.e. apl / j / k ?

qqq: Yeah, a long-time ago. My university final year project as an undergraduate was to implement APL from scratch (in Pascal, would you believe).

@U04V70XH6 : recommendations for resources for implementing a mini-J ?

I used this classic, back in the day: http://www.worldcat.org/title/microprogrammed-apl-implementation/oclc/4098648

qqq02:06:55

of course, any useful APL material should be: not on amazon, not searcahble as pdf, and not at local library 🙂

seancorfield02:06:39

APL was always kinda old-school 🙂 And it’s been a long time since I built that (I graduated with my BSc in 1983!).

anyone have the numbers on the latency of the apple pencil? quora says: new pencil = 20ms fastedr, old = 70 ms, new = as low as 20 ms (fvrom different responders), but for whatever reason I have not found an authorative answer

Am I going crazy, or did GitHub recently update their syntax highlighting for Clojure?

schmee19:06:43

I think they updated it for all langs

schmee19:06:06

and I don’t like it! 👴

mobileink20:06:11

@schmee why? just curious

schmee20:06:13

dunno, I just liked the old ones better 😛

mobileink20:06:35

heh, understood.

mobileink20:06:09

speaking of syntax highlighting, i poked around and settled on google prettify for clojure. but it's not so great. any recommendations? (you can see the results at https://miraj-project.github.io/#!/html5)
