I found an interesting Wikipedia article, while perusing the category about
array programming languages:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGL_%28programming_language%29

This NGL is said to be a language with an iconical mathematical notation,
presumably derived from APL, but whose implementation trans-compiles NGL
code to J.

I would like to try this beast out, but I cannot find any reference about
it on Google, except for the Wikipedia page and its clones.

There is a comp.lang.apl post from 2012, titled NGL, where no further light
was shone on it.

I have put Mr. Arredondo in CC because one of his older post on the J
mailing list includes a reference to the path
/home/vstar/ngl-beta/usr/mmftest.ijs, presumably from his machine.

Do you or anybody else know anything about this NGL project?

I have to admit that the only feature I dislike about J is its ASCII
digraph notation, therefore I'm quite interested in a wrapper with an
APL-like iconic one.
