I have a j script that I launch from a desktop shortcut which launches and runs in about 0.5 seconds. It reads a csv file of about 450 rows and 11 fields and outputs a .GPX file (a form of xml) with about 1200 lines.

He gets good response times from luajit and javascript's v8 but with those he does not get integers. He apparently needs to fire off a script through automation and produces a result quickly, but not through an interactive session. Any degree of responsiveness might be required with such uses. The applications commonly solved in K involve very small portions of a second, for instance. I know nothing about his problem domain beyond what I've said here. I was just casually curious how close J might be to competitive in fitting his needs, given this narrow set of criteria. --Tracy On Aug 27, 2011 5:49 PM, "Dan T.
