[[John Scholes | The publication of [[John Scholes' ''Dynamic Functions in Dyalog APL'' <ref>[[John Scholes|Scholes, John M.]] https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/documents/Papers/dfns.pdf Dynamic Functions in Dyalog APL]</ref> showed that a number of expressions could be grouped together within paired delimiters and separated by line-ends. This hinted at the possibility of doing a similar thing between brackets and parentheses to solve a problem for which Phil Last had been seeking a solution for a decade. | ||

Phil Last sent a proposal to Dyalog outlining two possible executable notations for creating multi-dimensional arrays without function application. One using potential new system construct :Array and :Cell to be used in tradfns and another using line-ends between balanced brackets to define arrays of rank-2 or greater in both dfns and tradfns. | |||
It became RFE 9458: Large and higher rank literal values. See [[File:Embedding data.pdf]] | |||

Description: Proposal for a mechanism to specify large and higher rank literal values directly in code. | |||
