Well, thanks again to you and Chris Burke then. Up until that moment I was using Emacs and the J-mode but now and then it was hanging in the buffer for some odd reason.
I am learning J again this evening, thanks to all the feedback that I have had, and a good long study of the 'struct' code from the other day my head is reeling with this and that. As a 'seasoned' programmer of 35 years and counting, my own personal approach to J so far has been to pick apart a sentence and absolutely break it down and try out the pieces from right to left, the debug/dissect is good but I prefer just the terminal console really (old school die hard) although sometimes I treat myself with the Qt flavour. It's a pleasure to learn J and think this way. I learned just enough APL to realise me and those symbols were never going to be a tuple, and then I found out that Iverson 'improved' APL or at leat gave borth to son-of-APL as J. I wish I had half those smarts. Anyway, back to the hack, tonight it is finishing up my postgres wrapper and then back to my graphical pursuits with SDL2.
