It is a question which one is more correct EISIJ everything is simple in J
or EIEIJ everything is easy in J It all depends on how you look at it. For someone who does not yet understand J things are probably not so simple nor easy. Once you do know the basics you can begin to make things work easy and look simple. Bring problems into the forums that sometimes look hard and complex and when the experts have a go at it you get a solution that looks easy but obviously it was not that simple to derive at. So often things are simple and easy in J but you may not have seen it nor understood it yet. I have spent years in and on J and I keep learning something new. I still can not understand why not everyone else sees it that way. http://jsoftware.com/zippy.htm Do you feel its awesome power? 2010/2/25 Björn Helgason <[email protected]>: > 2010/2/25 Tirrell, Jordan (Consultant) <[email protected]>: >> This is "chat"... >> >> It takes a while to learn J and for things to click, but then I think >> >> EISIJ everything is simple in J > > I occasionally get a question if I can do this or that with J and the > answer is always yes. > > It is also true that most of it is easy for me to do personally but > sometimes the person asking wants to do it but only getting directions > what to do and how to do it and then it may not be so easy to describe > over the phone. > > I usually have to have J in front of me and sometimes experiment a bit > to get the task done. > > I know a few people who can do advanced APL/J operations without > having a session manager in front of them. > > Thinking in many dimensions and ranks is a step above my abilities > without the aid of the session manager. > -- Björn Helgason, Verkfræðingur Fornustekkum II 781 Hornafirði Po Box 127,801 Selfoss , t-póst: [email protected] gsm: +3546985532 sími: +3544781286 http://groups.google.com/group/J-Programming Tæknikunnátta höndlar hið flókna, sköpunargáfa er meistari einfaldleikans góður kennari getur stigið á tær án þess að glansinn fari af skónum /|_ .-----------------------------------. ,' .\ / | Með léttri lund verður | ,--' _,' | Dagurinn í dag | / / | Enn betri en gærdagurinn | ( -. | `-----------------------------------' | ) | (\_ _/) (`-.
