::: LYaPAS is relatively low-level. And it's closer to assembly than to C. It has neither file nor worksheet abstraction. It even puts much of the burden of heap management on the programmers, allowing them to write to specific memory cells directly. It doesn't have floating-point numbers, neither it has basic APL functions such as reshape, reverse, transpose, matrix inverse, grade up, etc. Even 2D-arrays are ugly and limited in LYaPAS. --[[User:Andrii Makukha|Andrii Makukha]] ([[User talk:Andrii Makukha|talk]]) 00:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC) | ::: LYaPAS is relatively low-level.
