Hi, yeah you assumes right that the transpose symbol comes from APL!

This language does not have ”implicit iteration” a la APL, thus * is just a binary operation you can apply like this *:<1,2> which will yield 3. This is why inner product needs to first transpose. TBH I don’t like this, I just wanted to follow the specification given in the paper as closely as possible. I might diverge from this and implement ”implicit iteration” in the future!
