Er... what do you mean by "you can't set it from variables"?I can do this: amend= } Now I can do: x m amend y Same exact syntax, the only thing that has changed is the name. (Which gets us back into the discussion about what does "concise syntax" actually mean and is that related to the names involved or not?) I can also do this: AMEND=:3 :0 'x m y'=. y x m} y ) Now, I can do this: AMEND x;m;y and that's a different syntax. Anyways, I can't figure out what you are telling me, and that feels frustrating. But mostly, I guess it sounds like you have borrowed some parts of J's vocabulary and are using it with a different syntax. And, I guess that that can be a good exercise for you. But maybe I should stop thinking about the things you are saying as having to do with J itself and instead I should take them to be about your project (which happens to have J as the first letter of its name)?
