However, you should be aware of two key differences between BQN and existing array languages beyond just the changes of <a href="doc/primitive.html">primitives</a>—if these differences don't seem important to you then you don't understand them! BQN's <a href="doc/based.html">based array model</a> is different from both a flat array model like J and a nested one like APL2, Dyalog, or GNU APL in that it has true non-array values (plain numbers and characters) that are different from depth-0 scalars. BQN also uses <a href="doc/context.html">syntactic roles</a> rather than dynamic type to determine how values interact, that is, what's an argument or operand and so on. This system, along with lexical closures, means BQN fully supports Lisp-style <a href="doc/functional.html">functional programming</a>.</p> <p>A useful tool for both beginners and experienced users is <a href="https://mlochbaum.github.io/bqncrate/"><strong>BQNcrate</strong></a>, a searchable collection of BQN snippets to solve particular tasks. If you have a question about how you might approach a problem, give it a try by typing in a relevant keyword or two.</p> <h2 id="where-can-i-find-bqn-users">Where can I find BQN users?</h2> -<p>Most BQN users are active on <a href="https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/52405/the-apl-orchard">The APL Orchard</a> forum.

If you (like me) don't have a Stack Overflow or Stack Exchange account with a few points you'll have to send an email to get forum access; see the instructions in the room description. You can also chat there by IRC: a bot mirrors messages back and forth to the #apl freenode channel.</p> <p>The official place to ask BQN programming questions is <a href="https://topanswers.xyz/apl">topanswers.xyz/apl</a>.
