alt Hacker NewsThe beginning of the article talks about not learning APL--specifically mentions that he's not here to talk about APL--and proceeds into a wide-eyed dissection of the C without mentioning APL syntax again. It also doesn't, literally, say that the C is like APL; it says Arthur is an APL guy who writes weird C code. Another comment disagrees that this is APL style at all--which is it?? I think you could have given me more credit than this. I read the article and participated as best I could. I'm always happy to bump APL related articles so they get more visibility.
It's irrelevant that someone doesn't think the code is APL-inspired. Their disagreement is as much with the article as your comment. I felt like what is written in the article already implied what I then read in your comment. Credit where due, the disagreement with the article probably would've not been posted if the implications in that part hadn't been re-stated plainly. Comments like these can be useful as pointers to specific aspects of an article, where conversations can be organized under, now that I think about it.
