0 It's Vegabook here (Thomas Browne) and I wanted to provide a few points of perspective, on my interest in BQN on the Beam, some of which I have already provided on Matrix. I provide this not because of me, per se, but because I believe that a non-trivial subset of data scientists will have similar perspectives, so my background may be useful. The below summarises some of my points in my chat with @Gander (Rowan Cannaday) two days ago (Friday 29 Dec 2023).

Are there any test cases or benchmarks for APL implementations? 1

2 I don't know of any attempt to publish general test cases as a resource for developers, although I think that would be hugely valuable project (and I've made writing specifications and tests a high priority in BQN development). The biggest issue for making dialect-agnostic tests would probably be the primitives where symbols are completely different between dialects. One approach might be to write the tests using special unambiguous symbols, and convert them before running.
