<h1 id="how-to-run-bqn">How to run BQN</h1>
<p>There are currently two active BQN implementations: the self-hosted one in this repository, and the independent dzaima/BQN. Neither is entirely complete but they are quite capable for pure programming tasks (say, implementing a compiler). dzaima/BQN has good performance while self-hosted is a few hundred times slower. I tend to develop parts of applications in the online REPL and move to dzaima/BQN scripts in order to run them.</p>
+<p>Scripts in this repository use <code><span class='Value'>bqn</span></code> in the <code><span class='Comment'>#!</span></code> line if self-hosted or dzaima/BQN can run them, and <code><span class='Value'>dbqn</span></code> if only dzaima/BQN works.</p>
<h3 id="self-hosted-bqn">Self-hosted BQN</h3>
<p>See the subsections below for instructions on specific implementations.</p>
<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>), but is still missing some advanced features: block headers and multiple body syntax, derived 1-modifiers, and block returns.</p>
