It's a Smalltalk-ish language with support for array programming. Hi Rich,

Have you seen F-Script? It’s a Smalltalk-ish language with support for array programming.

BTW, as a former APL programmer (a functional language from the 60's), I've often thought that Smalltalk would be greatly enriched by some of the matrix and operator capabilities of APL. Good luck with your new job. Regards...Rich Demers Vasilli,

You make me appreciate the power of Smalltalk more and more by how easily these concepts are to add. It's also interesting to see these more functional concepts added, it'll be interesting to see some more real world examples where such things would come in handy. Nice post, keep em coming.
