New **array notation** eliminates the gotchas of [stranding](https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Strand_notation). * A [**context-free grammar**](doc/context.md) where a value's syntactic role is determined by its spelling makes it easier for machines and humans to understand code. * Oh, and it naturally leads to [**first-class functions**](doc/functional.md), a feature often missed in APL. * The **new symbols** for built-in functionality allow the syntactic role of a primitive to be distinguished at a glance, and aim to be more consistent and intuitive. |
