>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_programming_language The J programming language, developed in the early 1990s by Ken Iverson and Roger Hui, is a synthesis of APL (also by Iverson) and the FP and FL function-level languages created by John Backus. I suppose one billion or so Chinese speakers may agree with the assertion that one symbol = one token is intrinsically more readable. In fact, it is more compact, even more so if you remove the phrase 圖靈獎獲得者 (Turing award winner) from the Chinese which is not in the English. ----- Original Message ----- From: Morten Kromberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thursday, December 20, 2007 11:19 Subject: RE: Subject: Re: [Jchat] J readability To: 'Chat forum' <[email protected]> > In a language where trains of primitives have powerful meanings: > hooks, forks and other tacit constructs - the idea that "one > symbol = one token" is not intrinsically more readable than > variable-length sequences involving punctuation marks, is very > hard for me to get my head round.
