Thank you to everyone for your replies. I have taken the advice of the
first response and am trying both, starting with q.
On tacit programming, i think i have found it is possible in q, and it does
have currying. They have default (implicit?) arguments x and y to refer to
the first and second args in a monad/dyadic function. similar to j's [
and ] operators?
So by my reckoning this code below is an example of tacit average in q?
q) is the prompt...
q)average:{ (sum x) % count x}
q)average[2 3 4]
3f
q)average[2 3 4 5]
3.5
hope my other three questions are as easy to figure out...
