Background: I am the developer of Duel, a language for C debugging.
I have never used APL seriously, though I'm aware of the semantics,
some of which found their way into Duel. What is Duel? under gdb,
given array x[100] of structs with field level, you could do:

(gdb) dl x[..100].level >? 0
x[42].level = 5
x[67].level = 19

That is, find x[i].level that are positive (the nice symbolic output is
automatic). care for more details? anon ftp to: ftp.cs.princeton.edu:/duel.

Anyway, I needed some prime numbers over 1000, and I ended up using Duel!
This raises the question of whether Duel provides anything interesting to
people who use APL one-liners, or plain old Unix 'bc'.

To get the first 10 prime numbers over 1000, in Duel:
(all the spaces are redundant. x=>y creates an implied loop over x, returning
 y, where _ is the index of the loop)

(1000.. => if(&&/( 2,3.._-1 => __%_)) _ )[[..10]]

How much work it takes in APL? Duel uses Icon-like generators, so the above
is iterative, not lists/arrays manipulations. The above code does not
assume, e.g. that there must be 10 primes between 1000 and 2000.

Comments appreciated!

   NB.   A statment like

1009 1013 1019 1021 1031 1033 1039 1049 1051 1061
   NB.   Selects the first ten primes between 1000 and 1100

   NB.   A statement like

1009 1013 1019 1021 1031 1033 1039 1049 1051 1061
   NB.    Starts with 1000 and continues to select primes until 10 are found.
   NB.    The spaces could be deleted to make it somewhat leaner but it makes
   NB.    the look of the code unnatural. This solution requires
   NB.    significantly more characters than the Deul solution.
   NB.    Generally, if :

   NB.    Then d (i.0;x) finds the next prime numbers succeeding x. So :
   d (i.0); 30
31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71

   NB.    A verb which finds all the primes up to a given number by going thru
   NB.    all odd numbers up to the ceiling of the square root of the input
   NB.    and selecting those which are prime is:
   NB.

   NB. So the 168 prime numbers between 1 up to 1000 are

   21 8 $ ph 1000
