The tutorial section here also covers this topic.

Now it's time to discuss ways to write arrays in a BQN program. There are three kinds literal notation for lists: strings, list notation, and stranding. Strings indicate character lists (with space for the fill) and the other two can combine any sequence of elements. Additionally, there's a square bracket notation that can form higher-rank arrays.

Strings

-

A string consists of a sequence of characters surrounded by double quotes "". The only rule for the characters inside is that any double quote must be escaped by repeating it twice; otherwise the string ends at that point.

Even special characters like a newline can appear in a string literal, so that string literals are automatically multi-line.

Brackets

List notation uses angle brackets ⟨⟩. The contents are structurally identical to those of a block, that is, a list of expressions separated by , or ⋄ or newlines. Unlike a block, a list doesn't need to have any expressions: ⟨⟩ or ⟨⋄⟩ or ⟨,,⋄,⟩ will create an empty list. Other differences are that a list doesn't introduce a new scope and all of the expressions have to result in a value, not Nothing (·).

Entries in a list are evaluated in source order, and the value will be the list of those results. The list has a subject role, even if it contains expressions with other roles. Any value can be an element.
