Ask HN: What is the next logical iteration of array languages?
2 by smabie | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Having now learned kdb+/q, k, and J, I'm wondering what the next logical evolution of these kind of languages is. Static typing, laziness, GPU execution? I believe (or maybe just hope) that all programming is going to move into this direction, just like how we've seen statically typed functional languages become mainstream in the last 20 years. What's next?
