If you&#x27;re interested in APL and array programming languages (j, k, q, BQN) take a listen to The Array Cast at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arraycast.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.arraycast.com&#x2F;</a>

The paper&#x27;s author speaks up in some episodes of the APL Campfire (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apl.wiki&#x2F;APL_Campfire" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apl.wiki&#x2F;APL_Campfire</a>):<p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w1VMeSzJLyE&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAEj91hZHbJiWOENHZP4JT8VFv" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=w1VMeSzJLyE&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAE...</a><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_jBQ53cRi0s&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAEj91hZHbJiWOENHZP4JT8VFv" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_jBQ53cRi0s&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAE...</a><p>- <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a65K-0jaWc4&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAEj91hZHbJiWOENHZP4JT8VFv" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a65K-0jaWc4&amp;list=PLYKQVqyrAE...</a>

APL was originally conceived as an improved notation for mathematics, unifying a variety of fields and concepts. This effort is sometimes portrayed as a failure for not being universally adopted wholesale, but some of its ideas did influence popular usage, including the adoption of APL&#x27;s ⌊ (floor) and ⌈ (ceiling) symbols, as well as those names for the operations.
