Here's a fun link showcasing some of the potential of the J playground and and early PI day experiment: https://jsoftware.github.io/j-playground/bin/html/emj.html#url=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/joebo/4fb3f5531f8ff00fc8d7903b876f6661/raw/293c2725016618b232ff92c1af2fa022b3bf220f/pi-day-playground-demo1.ijs
Give it a second to load and then click Run This has been tested on a recent chrome browser on Windows and probably doesn't work on mobile and unknown on other browers. If it works, you should see a canvas added to the J Playground with a rainbow effect of increasing digits of PI It showcases: 1. Loading a J Playground script from an external URL (I used gist) 2. Interop of J and Javascript I'm sure we can create a more impressive demo than this! If you try it and it doesn't work on a desktop, let us know so we can track down compatibility issues Have fun!
