A new blog post by "sigfpe" is fun: The Three Projections of Doctor Futamura http://blog.sigfpe.com/2009/05/three-projections-of-doctor-futamura.html
I found this to be a particularly interesting passage: "If we have a specialiser we never need to make a compiler again. We need only design interpreters that we can automatically convert to compilers. In general it's easier to write interpreters than compilers and so in principle this makes life easier for programmers. It also allows us to compartmentalise the building of compilers." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
