David Liebs showed me his implementation of J in Mathematica. He started from the parse table http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm .
Programs in conventional languages have a lot of associated ceremony. -- David Leibs Cloudability is a requirement of modern applications. -- Anssi Seppälä Once again I am assigned the last speaking slot before the banquet, the slot of death. -- Simon Garland Stephen Taylor spoke of code as poetry. This allows me to justify my penchant for aligning homologs in code, as in Chinese poetry and Haiku where it is essential that words line up. Marshall Lochbaum's presentation consisted of entering two non-trivial programs, to read and write *.wav files, and running them to produce correct results. At one point I leaned over to Jay Foad and exclaimed sotto voce, "My God, this guy's got guts!" http://www.jsoftware.com/papers/APLQA.htm#impress and a few other stories to come. At one point in my own presentation I thought I was fainting. It turned out the screen rippled in the slight air movement, a fact not apparent to most of the audience who faced the screen squarely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
