How sad. 

And I almost asked if you became as rich and famous as I would have predicted 
based on your  Killer App paper and NuVoc efforts!

 Back then, I was jumping down rabbit holes here, and on Kent Beck’s original 
(pre vandalism) WikiWiki. A link to the killer app I was imagining back then is 
still preserved at http://wiki.c2.com/?JimRussell. 

I am embarrassed to see that I listed J as one of my languages. Back then I 
1. had been productive in APL and a bunch of other programming languages, 
2. had been introduced to, and could see the advances made by J, 
3. was confident I could become productive with J with just a little bit more 
practice. 

How naive I was!
