We call this the "elevator conversation": You meet someone in an elevator. You try to tell him what x is about during the elevator ride. For example:
J is an array programming language. It uses symbols instead of words. The basic object is an array. J has functions and operators. Operators are like adverbs in English and give a lot of power. Functions apply to entire arrays. For example in 3+A it---- oops elevator door opens and the ride is over. You hope that you have said enough to get the guy interested enough that he'd Google the x that you talked about. ----- Original Message ----- From: Oleg Kobchenko <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 23:41 Subject: Re: [Jchat] J windows programming To: Chat forum <[email protected]> > > From: Oleg Kobchenko <[email protected]> > > > > > OK.
