Hi all!
The sharing of programs happened after a week or something I think.
Likewise the search in forums. J Software was very responsive to ideas
at the time, it seems. J as open source took more time, but happened
some years later. It's a very big change, of course.
I have been fighting hard for readability and writeability since I
started posting in these forums, apparently without any reaction
whatsoever. J is getting less and less readable and people care less and
less about if their code and their posts can be read and understood.
Minimizing the number of written characters is the only thing that
counts. The time it takes to get a solution down to the minimum amount
of characters and how difficult it then is to read is nothing anyone
cares about at all. Posted code is normally not documented and often
untested and full of bugs.
Maybe it is hard to change the definition of amend.
Cheers,
Erling
