Array Cast
Revision as of 22:14, 16 January 2024 by Conorhoekstra (talk | contribs)
The Array Cast is an audio podcast about array programming languages, especially APL, J, K/Q, and BQN. Being an audio-only production, the focus is on giving high-level views and describing the experience of using such languages, rather than showing visual examples of code.
Participants
The podcast is hosted by Conor Hoekstra who is a research scientist at NVIDIA. Recurring panellists are Adám Brudzewsky, Richard Park, and Rodrigo Girão Serrão, of Dyalog Ltd., Stephen Taylor and Nick Psaris of Kx Systems, and J enthusiast Bob Therriault. After appearing multiple times, twice as a guest panellist, Marshall Lochbaum joined the regular panel with the 22 July 2022 episode. Various guests are invited to specific episodes.
