Okay, found what I was thinking of by searching for my own name in Pipermail from the beginning. BTW - what's the best way of searching Pipermail?
The thread: *Reimplementing J* -was begun by Dan Bron … http://www.jsoftware.com/pipermail/programming/2009-July/015471.html - who asked: If you were considering reimplementing J, which language would you use? Roger Hui replied: First choice: J; second choice: C. (my sentiments entirely.) Just spotted your reply, Raul. Thanks - it does. If memory serves, you yourself contributed quite a few useful J definitions of primitives. I'm settling down to do a thorough literature search, so memory won't have to serve for long.
