===Rank polymorphism=== Rank polymorphism is one of the defining features of the [[array programming]] languages, like [[APL (programming language)|APL]]. The essence of the rank-polymorphic programming model is implicitly treating all operations as aggregate operations, usable on arrays with arbitrarily many dimensions,<ref>{{cite arXiv |last1=Slepak |first1=Justin |last2=Shivers |first2=Olin |last3=Manolios |first3=Panagiotis |date=2019 |title=The semantics of rank polymorphism |class=cs.PL |eprint=1907.00509}}</ref> which is to say that rank polymorphism allows functions to be defined to operate on arrays of any shape and size.
