I have not read this all the way through, but if we wanted to impress academia, in general, of the viability of APL and J, we need to point at our successes. And for that, I think our biggest weapon would be the list of people who have learned APL and gone on to do great things. I have been better aware of this kind of thing in the past, than now, but currently the only person I can remember as an illustrative example of this kind of thing is John R. Levine: http://www.johnlevine.com/about.phtml (And it's been a decade or more since I last conversed with him, and I could not prove, currently, that the John R. Levine who has an APL background is the same John R. Levine who is a compiler expert.) Anyways, its a thought... -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
