Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link mathspp.com for its APL-in-Python interpreter series and a socket programming guide. One comment calls the sockets post a possible help to readers, and another cites the APL series as the closest existing example.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Does "make use of the speed of array-based language, but save computation time by compiling" refer to using an array language that is compiled? [Co-dfns]( https://github.com/co-dfns/co-dfns ) compiles a dialect of APL, so that might be interesting…
