Hi Josh, I have always leaned heavily on Henry Rich's excellent book "J for C Programmers" https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm#_Toc191734581
In particular the section "Tacit Programs" helps with the technical details https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/tacit_programs.htm#_Toc191734582 Also, using 13 : to declare verbs usually gives a tacit version of explicit one line verbs 13 : ' x + y * y' [ + ] * ] 13 : ' x +: @ * y' +:@* Cheers, bob > On Jul 26, 2019, at 4:20 PM, The3DSquare Josh Yang > <[email protected]> wrote: > > I was wondering if you guys have any resources for learning tacit > programming in J.
