Ewart, I have no experience with large J projects, but may I ask what kind of system is the one you are building? I am enormously intrigued: if a person who implemented `the game of life' in some 60 characters is talking about hundreds of thousands lines of J code, that must be an extraordinarily complex system! The largest program I have ever written (together with another person) was a 2d CAD system, many years ago. It was well stuffed with tools for geometric construction, transformation, measurement, annotation, visualization etc., and had a simple internal language which you could use to extend the system through writing by hand but also through automatically generating (parameterized) procedures in it in the course of interacting with the system. That system was some 27K lines. In Fortran, which was our best choice at the time for the given machine. I am really amazed by the level of complexity of the system you are developing.
