What is hyperizing?

Hyperizing uses hyperblocks. Check out this post from jens describing them in the Snap!6 release announcement from a while ago.

Hyperblocks!

We've made Snap's math and list blocks more expressive. Operators can now be used on scalars, vectors, matrices and multi-dimensional data alike. Instead of having to resort to loops to iterate over aggregate data, or higher-order-functions to enumerate them, hyper-operators enable an alternative, much more direct, algebraic way of thinking about and interacting with data. Sound familiar? Sure, it's the big idea behind APL minus the hieroglyphs.



Hyperblocks aren't just super expressive, they're also really fast
