Array-oriented Functional Programming by Aaron W Hsu, Dhaval Dalal and Morten Kromberg at

APL is the original functional programming language, the grand-daddy, the Godfather, and the old workhorse. But don't let Grandpa's age fool you. APL programmers have been leveraging the use of functional programming with arrays long before it was cool to be chasing pointers in an ADT using statically typed pattern matching, and they've refined their own style and approach to getting the most from a "functional paradigm."
In this workshop, you will have the chance to spend some time thinking like a functional array programmer. What makes it different? How does the code look at the end? What thought process do you go through to get there? Get a chance to play around with some classic problems and try solving them "the APL way."
Taijiquan Classics say, "Four ounces deflects a thousand pounds."
APLers might say instead, "Fifty characters solve a thousand problems."
