I think some members of this group will enjoy this talk.  What I found
fascinating was that Rob Pike, Ken Thompson, and Robert Griesemer had
implemented APL sometime in the past.  What is even more fascinating is
that J has further improved upon ideas (integrated rank support, much more
sophisticated handling of all sorts of numbers, and some unique
functions/ideas like under, power....i'm sure I'm missing some more
things!!) of APL and yet there's no mention of it anywhere.  It's as if Ken
Iverson never improved upon APL too!

I've derived, and continue to derive, much pleasure using and learning J
and its implementation.  And I love the J community!

Happy holidays,
Vijay.
