Sample with fibonacci:

I tried to go through the tutorial a year or so ago.
I can’t recall when, but there’s a point at which doing something normal/trivial in an imperative language requires all sorts of weirdness in Uiua. But they try to sell it as especially logical while to me they came off as completely in a cult.
It’s this section, IIRC: https://www.uiua.org/tutorial/More Argument Manipulation#-planet-notation-
When they declare
And there you have it! A readable syntax juggling lots of values without any names!
For
×⊃(+⊙⋅⋅∘|-⊃⋅⋅∘(×⋅⊙⋅∘)) 1 2 3 4Which, if you can’t tell, is equivalent to
f(a,b,c,x) = (a+x)(bx-c)With arguments 1, 2, 3, 4.
I wanted to like this, and have always wanted to learn APL or J (clear influences). But I couldn’t take them seriously after that.
Looks like an interesting project, but I can’t understand what’s the advantage of using weird symbols.
Mostly so that all the built in keywords, control flow, and standard library are all “one character”
It’s evaluated right to left, but modifiers are to the left of the functions. I feel like they were specifically trying to be difficult.
Is this an esolang? Could be nice for code golf maybe.
