Message-ID: <199113.993.337@canrem.uucp> Date: 13 May 91 12:32:05 EST Reply-To: "greg trice" Distribution: comp Organization: Canada Remote Systems I've only recently started to read this group, and I'm mystified by all the references to J. I assume it is a language, if so, what relationship does it have to APL? I've used APL for many years and I've never seen any other language that remotely resembled it. Is J such an animal? Perhaps for the benefit of those new to J somebody could post a listing showing where APL and J differ. I'm assuming J has some relationship to APL because why would it be discussed here otherwise? -Greg Trice- (greg.trice@canrem.uucp) -- Canada Remote Systems. Toronto, Ontario NorthAmeriNet Host
