You say you don't use iCloud, and you've given up on iOS Files app.
You're denying yourself the most robust way to move J scripts between your
iOS device and your Mac.
And (probably) the easiest to setup and use. Though that may not be saying
much.
If I had 10 coders in my team, I'd put on
However you'd do it in jqt, it's worth trying the same in jios. If
something doesn't work, it's usually not the fault of jios but the bizarre
paranoid iOS directory system, which prioritizes security over convenience
and takes getting used-to.
As a general rule, paths beginning: 'j/' are the most
I think an idiom would be about as good as it gets.

For those of us digital archaeologists running back-levels of J, it would
be nice to have a robust test for a given version of J or later which
tolerates versions down to 4.01, say.

Incidentally my proposal to chain dotdot neglected to consider

I'm warming to the idea of dotdot as a sentence-separator. Visual as well
as logical.
It would be an estimable anti-strabismus device for instructing newbies.
You could chain dotdot for emphasis:

From the pov of a beginner (I am a career beginner where coding is
concerned)…
The NuVoc format works well with verbs, less well with adverbs, but is
rotten with conjunctions.

deficiency. I only know palliatives. One palliat
Very nicely produced, Bob & co. Hits the sweet spot in promotional media I

Keep 'em coming — and this will become regular listening for me.

Plus I'm feeling the need for a hexagonal variant of viewmat (it's just
alternately staggered matrix rows after all)!
…and I was just wondering what I was going to do this evening!

(IMHO) jgl2 is clunky and hard to debug, as bad as turtle graphics, and the
results look like "business graphics" from the 1980s.
Probably better to use the *plot* addon instead, which is well-integrated

debug/tte contains some handy samples, so you don't need to go constructing
them. See TEST_tte_ .
I'm ransacking my old brain here for 10-year-old knowledge. Abject
