# Introduction

_*note: this page requires a font which can show apl symbols.*_

APL and J are very different from other (more conventional) programming languages, and therefore they require a little bit of introduction.
Their syntax is very dense, and can be hard to read at times for a person not very familiar with it.

# To be written at some point

	+/⍳200

is the sum of the first 200 natural numbers in APL, and in J it would be

	+/i.200

nice.
