Can You Speak to Programming With APL?

Bob Greene: What is it about the array languages that you love or that, you know, made that light bulb go off? He says APL has "incredible tersteness and expressiveness of the language. You write a line of code and you just know this would have taken a page if I had to write it in C." Greene: If you don't remember what your thoughts are, you're not going to be able to understand the program very well. The hard part about programming, as we all know, is getting your thoughts in order.
