BQN is aimed at existing and aspiring APL-family programmers, and using it requires a solid understanding of functions and multidimensional arrays. However, because of its focus on providing simple, consistent, and powerful array operations, BQN should also be a good language for learning array programming and building stronger array intuition.</p> <p>BQN maintains many of the ideas that made APL\360 revolutionary in 1966:</p> @@ -22,9 +22,9 @@ <li>Oh, and it naturally leads to <a href="doc/functional.html"><strong>first-class functions</strong></a>, a feature often missed in APL.</li> <li>The <strong>new symbols</strong> 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.</li> </ul> -<h2 id="what-kind-of-name-is--bqn--">What kind of name is "BQN"?</h2> +<h2 id="what-kind-of-name-is-bqn">What kind of name is "BQN"?</h2> <p>It's three letters, that happen to match the capitals in "Big Questions Notation".
