Kap Lang

Kap is an array-based language that is inspired by APL. The language provides a powerful set of tools that allows the programmer to work with arrays of data instead of element by element. This allows the code to be incredibly compact, and often reduces what would otherwise be tens or even hundreds of lines of code into single line.

Documentation
