I am dubious of this reasoning. First off, the Open/Closed principle, as I understand it, is based on certain kinds of deployment, which differ from J software's approach for the language. Open/closed seems to about introducing new subclasses -- new locales which reference the old locale -- for any new behavior or features.) When a new version of J is released, we download a fresh copy of the interpreter. Open/Closed would be more appropriate for some code managed by J's package manager than for changes to the core language. That said, I am not at all sure what you mean by "removes the independence of the verb on the argument", and I may be overlooking an important point. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
