Email is the best method for contacting me: arcfide@sacrideo.us.

@dyalogapl No one gives a tech talk quite like Rodrigo. :-)

Dyalog colleague Rodrigo Girão Serrão both educates and entertains us while talking us through his and @arcfide's APL implementation of the U-NET CNN. #dyalog22 simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convoluti…

@wheeler_jg @dyalog I'm bad at Twitter, so I wrote a blog post instead: sacrideo.us/is-apl-dead/ .

Perhaps @dyalog would care to provide an update: hillelwayne.com/post/influenti…

@lexi_lambda @cutculus @whyevernotso Whether you *can* do something in a programming language differs from whether you *would* do something. Strongly opinionated languages sculpt UX and productivity beyond the sum of their features or lack thereof. Notation and culture matters more than often expected.

@cutculus @whyevernotso I understand why a concatenative style is sometimes nice, since it’s the same reasons why point-free style is sometimes nice. What I don’t understand is why you would want the whole language to operate that way. What does that buy you that writing point-free Haskell doesn’t?

It only just dawned on me this evening that point-free programming is essentially programming in a concatenative language. This does not help me understand any better why some people like FORTH so much.
