APL with ASCII — Iverson removed the custom character set and kept the array soul; tacit programming taken to its logical extreme.

Descended from APL
Created by Kenneth E. Iverson Roger Hui

Ken Iverson's J (1990) — APL without the special characters — made ASCII the notation: tacit programming, rank, and the vocabulary Iverson perfected across four decades.\n\nIt remains the purest array language; q/kdb+ and the finance world run on Iversonian arrays.
