Hi Morten, I have watched your video of presenting with Aaron (and many more), taking an interest in APL for the past few months. It's been fun (if frustrating) to try and learn, so you mentioning training materials and documentation is particularly appealing.
> I'm sorry to hear that we appear "directionless" to you
I hoped for this to be quiet feedback in case you don't see it from inside, rather than criticism, I'm not a commercial user (yet?) and you have nothing to be apologetic about; I appreciate your detailed and comprehensive reply, am enthused about many of the things you've said, am glad Dyalog is thriving, and wish you all continued success!
> Is there anything in particular that you miss?
I miss the familiarity of an imperative/OOP language with intellisense completing the names of methods and ordering of parameters, but I'm sure that will pass with time. :)
Just a comment about the intellisense stuff. Dyalog's IDE(s) do provide name completion for methods, functions, variables, objects, and namespace bindings. You don't get any auto-complete for the ordering of parameters, but arguably, this is less of an issue with a 1 and 2-arity function requirement in which it is generally bad style to deviate too far from this for too long in too many places without good reason.
