Nial: A Quick Look at Nial
The basis of Nial is the array theory of Trenchard More, a body of work which underpins APL2 nested arrays. It has a low profile, but serves the same niche as APL-J.

NIAL: Nested Interactive Array Language
Multi-paradigm language, merges aspects of functional array language and procedural languages. Rich set of language primitives make it easy to rapidly develop loop-free data-driven algorithms. Also Q'Nial IDE, and Nial Data Engine embeddable interpreter.

ResearchIndex: From Competition to Amalgamation of Different Programming Paradigms
Describes basic elements (data, actions, tunings, voids, mixtures, ...) and principles of programming (stratification, implicit knowledge, limited freedom, ...), directed to amalgamating different programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional, constraint, ...) in a unified process of generating computer system models.
