'''Glee''' is a J-inspired left-to-right evaluated ASCII array language which is "targeted at applications where languages like PERL, Python, and Java have found secure homes." It has a focus on programming features which are generally uncommon in array languages, allowing variable references, complex scoping, built-in stream and socket support, pre-made container objects, fields and many others. | '''Glee''' is a [[J]]-inspired left-to-right evaluated ASCII array language which is "targeted at applications where languages like PERL, Python, and Java have found secure homes."
