'''Jelly''' is an APL-like language inspired by [[J]]. It extends J with many built-ins intended to give Jelly an advantage in [[code golf]], e.g. divmod, the hash function, and string compression. Jelly uses different terminology from normal APL usage. [[Train]]s (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''.

* Like K, Jelly uses the [[list model]] for its arrays.

* Like APL, Jelly uses a wide range of Unicode [[glyph]]s. However, Jelly extends the glyph set to 256 characters from the US International keyboard, as well as the addition of 2-character digraphs.
