Re: akt availability

[Alexey Veretennikov]

Thats unfortunate, its great that you preserved it. It helped me to run GNU
APL on a small device where I wasn't able to run Emacs.

Slowness when using lambda expressions

[Elias Mårtenson]

The following expression takes about 12 seconds to compute on my laptop:

*{⍺+⍵}/ ⍳100*

However, the equivalent expression without the lambda expression is
immediate (i.e. thr prompt returns before I have time to notice that it
even started calculating):

*+/ ⍳100*

What is causing the large difference in performance?
