This is really cool — great work.

J & APL are elegant but not easy to get started with, and difficult to install. This looks like a newer, nicer, more open version.

BQN is also easier to get started. It's the only array language I ever tried because of that. Uiua seems to be inspired by BQN but it's also a stack-based language (BQN isn't).

It seems heavily inspired by BQN, even the style of the web page.
