Allow more primitives to the left of the assignment primitiv
Posted: January 22nd, 2014, 12:50 pmHi,
I love the new catenation syntax you introduced in +Win v13.1.
Not only is it so much faster, but it also reduces typing a lot. Moreover, I even got surprised how often it gets used in my APL programs: just everywhere!
So, as I already mentioned in Emails, here are a few wishes for a future version of APL+Win:
Of course you could extend this to other scalar dyadic primitives, but the 6 above ones would already be great.
Additionally, it would be quite useful to support Each at the left of the assignment primitive. This could also reduce typing significantly in our APL programs and simplify coding.
Example:

- Code: Select all
a-←...
a×←...
a÷←...
a⌈←...
a⌊←...

Example:
- Code: Select all
aaa←'eric' 'marie' 'anne'
aaa,¨←⊂' lescasse'
SYNTAX ERROR
aaa,¨←⊂' lescasse'

And add to that, Union, dyadic nub, (a∪b) and Intersection, (a∩b)
