Abstract

Array languages have their own unique style of programming and vocabulary that can make research and programming with them a strange experience for those who are used to purely functional or purely imperative styles of programming. This talk will try to demystify some of the key elements that define array languages and that separate them from other programming paradigms. Using an example based approach, it will attempt to provide a solid foundation for those wishing to understand research on array languages or who simply wish to gain a better working knowledge of array languages.
