Thanks Paul and others.. My limited time lately has been working on getting deep into the J code and compilation to WASM to resolve the failing unit tests - https://github.com/jsoftware/j-playground/issues
It's a much harder climb for me so progress has been slow. I think I've narrowed some of the issues down to SLEEF (which I didn't even realize was being used in J since 2020 -- neat) and sse2 instructions on WASM -- https://sleef.org/ -- there's also something possibly with the stack size or stack alignment, which is a bit outside my area of expertise. It's been a bit of a slog. The good news is that most tests are passing -- so the playground is working well on the whole with J. The bad news is that some of the failing tests may be contributing to glitches like the 3d surface plot not rendering correctly... I'd feel better knowing that there aren't any corner cases where people get wrong answers on the playground. I'll post more to the mailing list once there's notable progress.
