The B₁ and ϕ₁ Combinators
On the most recent episode of ArrayCast, we interviewed Michael Higginson about his path to the the array languages Q and APL. He was the most recent winner of the Dyalog APL Contest (in the professional category). During the podcast, he mentioned two beautiful solutions to two of the Phase 1 problems in the contest that, although never mentioned, were beautiful examples of using combinators.
GPU Array Languages, Compiler & Libraries

From the website, “Futhark is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family, and comes with a heavily optimising ahead-of-time compiler that presently generates either GPU code via CUDA and OpenCL, or multi-threaded CPU code.” While talking…
