I really like the language BQN and to me it feels a bit like a more stable version of Uiua (and as far as I know it was also a language that the creator of Uiua has taken influence from).
I only started paying attention to array language a few months ago, but every since I always get happy when I see a link posted about that topic. It’s just a cool niche that seems really interesting and different from regular programming to me.
Have you been able to learn and onboard yourself to BQN? Uiua seems to ha e a bigger footprint but I’m not sure where to find the comunity.
As much as I don’t like the idea of Discord, it seems that a lot of action is happening there (at least for Uiua, though BQN also uses Discord/Matrix as far as I am aware). There are also showcases and dev updates, which are quite nice to see and it still seems to be changing at a fast pace, with interesting avenues being explored (for example, using geometric algebra as a generalization for complex numbers).
