Explore a conference talk from Dyalog '24 that delves into Array Notation in APL programming through a personal journey of discovery. Begin with a retrospective timeline before diving into the intricacies of serializing and deserializing array notation. Examine current limitations in data notation and understand executable array notation in code implementations. Learn about token-by-token primitive tracing techniques and analyze performance considerations when creating arrays from code. Master variable editing concepts and discover practical applications through live editing demonstrations with Microsoft Excel tables and HTML. The presentation includes comprehensive coverage of array notation concepts, from theoretical foundations to practical implementations, complete with downloadable slides in both PPTX and PDF formats.
