> APLers hate the successors, because "notation is tool for thought" and ASCII is a poor representation.
I'm perplexed by this one. I'll concede that the APL symbols are prettier but why does it magically stop being a notation just because you use combinations of ASCII symbols. Especially when many APL symbols are composed of units themselves.
⍲ vs *: One is 'notation' because it has the two units stacked on top of each other and the other is not because they are stacked horizontally?
