BlankRecently I suggested in this forum that it would not be difficult to
blend the strengths of APL in with the strengths of J by means of some
straightforward additions to J. It was suggested to me very reasonably that
I give some examples. What I have done is to write a paper on the subject
that includes the necessary examples.
The reason the addition would be simple is that no change is made to input
or storage; the only change is to the output system, thus not so much
changing the system as changing the user’s perception of the system.
In addition, one additional adverb is suggested to enable explicit
definitions to closer parallel mathematical formulae.
It is my intention to post a finished product on the Wiki, but before I do
that I need constructive and/or destructive criticism – and to find out how
to post it! I would be very grateful if some members of this forum would be
kind enough to read my paper and comment to me. At the moment the paper is
at:

Thanks,
