I like it.  The video did point out useful features I would not have found on my own.  But, also don't need to be at forefront. The landing page did give me a first impression of a  very childlike retro vibe with the colours.  I quickly got used to it. On Wednesday, November 23, 2022 at

Pascal, I assume you meant that you got no feedback from the editor? Pity if so. Have you thought about asking the forum for feedback? That would probably have a good overlap in readership. Best, Cliff -- For information

Re: [Jprogramming] Feedback on beginner's code

Nice first program. I'm afraid pretty much all that there was to say about it has been said already, so all I'll add is my personal preferences for documentation. I skimmed through several of the included books, before settling on the actual Dictionary introduction. This is probably just

Re: [Jprogramming] Feedback on beginner's code

Although it's perhaps not as important early on as Henry's excellent advice, I would like to advocate for good use of whitespace and grouping in J programming. Putting less space around parts which are evaluated first (generally adverbs) and more around those which are evaluated last makes it a

Re: [Jprogramming] Feedback on beginner's code

I agree with what Raul says (and I know it works, too, because he was my main teacher as I was learning J). The J Dictionary is brief and brilliant; if you're committed to learning all of J you might want to start there; but some readers are reminded of what Macaulay said about Seneca, that

Re: [Jprogramming] Feedback on beginner's code

My tip would be: dip into the language each day - try to find something fun and interesting, of course, but a half hour a day over the course of a week will often do more for you than an intense 4 hour session. (Those intense 4 hour sessions, or longer, can be fun, but I would let them happen

Re: [Jprogramming] Feedback on beginner's code

Wow, that's amazing for a first program. You'll go far with this language. There are easier ways to do what you did: (' ' & i.#]) removes spaces. Easier is -.&' ' (*/)@(=&(...)) will cause trouble if the left and right arguments have different length, which is why you had to discard that

Hi all, I finally decided to try to understand this fascinating language. So far I've spent some evenings reading and experimenting with the language. J is fun. Real fun. I also like how J forces me to re-consider how I view programming. Of course, that also means I'm still at a complete

Nice work. I believe the smoothing that you see is due to the max bound on the number of iterations (24). But as you raise that, things slow down. On 1/2/2016 9:11 PM, Michal Wallace wrote: Hey all. Happy new year! I made a small GUI app for a tutorial video I'm planning:
