Indexing in APL vs Yorick

Notes

The indexing notation and broadcasting rules of the Yorick programming language based on a tweet by Jeremy Howard, and conclude that the two approaches achieve the same thing; one by manipulating data shape until broadcasting achieves desired result, the other by applying additional broadcasting rules on the existing shapes.
