x was defined in my msg; it was:

It is hard to draw any conclusions on arguments as small as those used in
your msg. However, anything in J coming within a factor of 2 of handcoded
C, as in the timings in your example, is an accomplishment
When I tried your example I got a result for the variable x when it was
not defined. That's a neat trick! You probably timed a variable that
differed from the "fox" sentence as our results are quite different. Also,
my results are also not as close as you indicated.
state=: 3 2 2$ 1 1 2 1 2
Yes it is. The example looks strange because the first character of a is
"a", not normally used as a separator. If the first character is a blank
(say), then it looks more normal. e.g.

a=: ' a good way to start the day'

Hi all -
We'll have our regular monthly NYCJUG meeting a day later than usual -
3/14 - and not just because it's "pi day".
We'll meet at the offices of ThomasNet - 5 Penn Plaza (between 33rd
and 34th) - at 18:30. There will be video-conference capabilities -

One of the attractions of this WSJ competition is that it looks like
part of the idea is to assemble a team on the spot. I'm just not
confident that I could bring J to the effort and add much value in a
short time (about a day and a half) because of my uncertainty about
how I would be able to inte
First you need to define your scope.
What volume of traffic does your front end need to deal with (ideally, you
should have this right within a factor of 10, but for small projects the
estimate is probably not very important)?
What kind of information are you showing? (It's good to have a pencil
