Functional Array Funhouse Intensive - Part 1 of 5
summary
Makes concrete claims of order‑of‑magnitude code reduction and speedup and actually shows the workflow that produces them: an interactive APL session that implements Game of Life in APL, a data‑parallel compiler running on GPUs via ArrayFire with Forge and AF CPU/CUDA/OpenCL backends, step‑by‑step build commands, and live debugging like fixing Homebrew symlinks and linker issues. Includes workspace setup (Code Defunds, Maple, Dialogue) and running examples so the promised performance and brevity are verifiable.
