* ''APL vs J vs K''<ref>[[Nick Nickolov]]. Chat message {{m|51655962}}. [[APL Orchard]]. 10 Sep 2019.</ref> is a collage of nine images that purport to illustrate how adherents of APL, [[J]], and [[K]], see the other languages. Going in [[ravel order]], APLers think of APL as the ultimate [[tool of thought]], J as APL's little brother that is too focused on mathematics, and K as being too restricted. J users see APL as the revered sage that has outlived itself, J as the perfect all-round tool, and K as running after monetary gain (K being very fast, and often used for [[wikipedia:high-frequency trading|high-frequency trading]]). K users see APL as bloated and old, J as bloated and a joke, and K as the key to winning the race. | * ''APL vs J vs K''<ref>[[Nick Nickolov]]. Chat message {{m|51655962}}.
