<p>This version of BQN is <a href="implementation/index.html">implemented</a> mainly in BQN itself, but a host language supplies basic functionality and can also replace primitives for better performance. This also allows <a href="doc/embed.html">embedding</a>, where programs in the host language can include BQN code. It fully supports all primitives except a few cases of structural Under (<code><span class='Modifier2'>⌾</span></code>), and is missing some minor syntax features such as derived 1-modifiers and block returns.</p>
