lm happy to report that the 'open' verb indeed succeeds. Attempting to open
files upwards of  '~ home' from the app menu crashes the app, though.
Samsung forbids access to everything under /storage/Android/data. There are
several filesystem apps that bypass this restriction, fortunately. This
allowed me to copy/paste in '~Projects'.
As for the user experience, the JKeyboard is really nice but my preferred
input method by far is handwriting with Gboard (the Google solution works
MUCH better than the stock Samsung stuff). It really feels like doing math
on paper, and I can confidently say that this is hands down the best
programming experience I ever had on a mobile device (which is not saying
much, but still...).
Please find some benchmark results on a Galaxy Tab s7 below:

Starting: 2021 10 9 8 50 19.9889
Floating-point arithmetic: min, max, mean, SD:
0.380841 1.25713 0.902903 0.339059
Integer arithmetic: min, max, mean, SD:

File writes: min, max, mean, SD:

File reads: min, max, mean, SD:

Random File reads: min, max, mean, SD:

Done: 2021 10 9 8 51 18.194

Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised by how good the experience is. I think
it might make a stellar video demo to showcase J on YouTube, if someone's
interested! Indeed, the terseness coupled with the ASCII glyphs really give
J the edge vs. other languages, here!

Cheers,

Raoul
