April 2010 issue covers the language J


As I had already included coverage of the Korn shell which I dedicated to my late wife: Trudy and also the coverage of Lisp which appeared in the June issue the next issue which we have yet to mention is the language J. This language was developed by Ken Iverson which if you read the first article in this language series was the person who developed the language and notation system: APL.

However, J uses only characters in the ASCII set so has no wierd greek letters etc. Other than that it is very APL like in the concepts it uses. You will find the text of the article from the following link:
