Jelly
Revision as of 10:41, 26 April 2020 by Adám Brudzewsky (talk | contribs)
Jelly is a dialect of APL in Python influenced by J, created and maintained by CGCC user Dennis. It extends APL with a plethora of extensions suitable for code golf, e.g. divmod, the hash function, and string compression.
- Like APL, Jelly uses a wide range of Unicode glyphs. However, Jelly extends the glyph set to 256 characters from the US International keyboard, as well as the addition of 2-character digraphs.
- Jelly uses different terminology from normal APL usage. Trains (which work similar to K's) are called links. Newlines or statement separators are used to separate links, the last line of the program is called the main link. Built-in functions are called atoms', while derived functions are called chains.
- Jelly atoms have a fixed valence, making Jelly appear more like a stack-based language, and obviating the need for parentheses.
