+At present, I think BQN is a good choice for learning array programming, scripting, medium-scale number crunching, and recreational programming. For some examples of BQN in action, this repository holds the dreaded [self-hosted compiler](src/c.bqn) and the friendlier [markdown processor](md.bqn) used to generate the site. See also my scripts at [bqn-libs](https://github.com/mlochbaum/bqn-libs), this [gnuplot interface](https://github.com/frasiyav/BQN-Gnuplot/blob/main/Gnuplot.bqn), some nicely commented Advent of Code 2021 [solutions](https://gitlab.com/icen/aoc21), or something else from the [community](community/README.md) page.

* [**New symbols**](keymap.md) for built-in functionality make the syntactic role of every primitive instantly visible, and aim to be more consistent and intuitive.
* No-nonsense [**namespace syntax**](doc/namespace.md) encapsulates data and even allows for a little [object-oriented programming](doc/oop.md).
-To see what a BQN program might look like, you can [gaze into the abyss](src/c.bqn) that is the self-hosted compiler, or try the friendlier [markdown processor](md.bqn) used to build this website. Or the collection of scripts at [bqn-libs](https://github.com/mlochbaum/bqn-libs).

Not sold? See [why BQN?](commentary/why.md) for an outline of what all these features add up to in terms of programming power.
## How do I work with the character set?
