Hi Oleg,
I will take up your references and respond, but initially I would like
to respond to your initial comments:
"I see a problem here: S tries design a new notation for
the same complex apparatus of tacit definition. The complexity
is intrinsic, and there is hardly a way to reduce it with a
different notation. It just makes it more confusing.
There is just no way that tacit definition in any form is
going to be readily perceivable for beginners."
Where I disagree is with the statement that "The complexity is
intrinsic, . ." Tacit programming is only complex because it has been
given a different structure to explicit J. Make the basic structure
consistent
with explicit J and it is easy to make tacit programming readily perceivable
for beginners.
Don
