1) sdasync under linux! I know it's a tough one, but it would be real helpful in all kinds of places; emacs, using J as a data server, using J in parallel. 2) improved serialization might also be nice; 5!:5/6 might do it for me, but, gee, it would be nice to set up a J thread running on every core (or even, on a network) where I could chunk things up and run tasks in parallel, the way Q does things. 3) Dictionaries/associative arrays! Yes, they are easy to write, but they're useful enough to be part of the core. n00bs will appreciate it, and I bet old timers would end up using them a lot. 4) More interfacing with Java examples. I'm pretty sure I can puzzle this out from looking at sources in 602, but it would be nice to have current ones. pcall seemed like a good idea... 5) If any of the above break J, I don't want 'em. It works really well as it is. -Scott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
