Re: [Haskell-cafe] An APL library for Haskell

Hey All, As Dan Peebles remarks, Repa and similar libs give a great haskelly vocabulary for this. Indeed, most of the examples in the wiki page are very much expressible with the REPA data model. I'd like to take this opportunity note that I'll be releasing a prototype library for numerical array

Re: [Haskell-cafe] An APL library for Haskell

Interesting idea. It seems like building this on top of REPA would save a lot of work, since it has a native notion of "rank" encoded in the type system. I'd then see the APL-like combinators as a "niche" API for REPA, rather than as a library of their own. And of course, you'd get parallelization

[Haskell-cafe] An APL library for Haskell

Friends Many of you will know the array language APL. It focuses on arrays and in particular has a rich, carefully-thought-out array algebra. An obvious idea is: what would a Haskell library that embodies APL's array algebra look l
