It seems very interesting and looks good for data presentation applications. I
would be interested in trying it out once it's released.
By the way, something that might be relevant, since you are (unless I'm
mistaken) compiling to JavaScript, is this project
https://github.com/joebo/j-emscripten which is J compiled to JavaScript. I'm
just wondering about getting your language working alongside Javascript-J,
since then you could leverage some of J's powerful primitive verbs etc.

> The language includes some J features such as:

> L2 is a much smaller, simpler language:
>
> - no tacit programming
> - just functions and arguments (verbs and nouns); no equivalent to adverbs
> or conjunctions (write higher-order functions in L2)
> - all tables (arrays) are 3-dimensional
> - no equivalent to cells, frames or items
> - no equivalent to locales and coclass (use closures for classes in L2)

> In L2:
>
> - expressions read left to right
> - functions can take more than 2 arguments
> - the core vocabulary uses symbols, but also function names that begin with
> a period
> - the language includes scalers, but converts between scalers and 1-entry
> tables as required
> - any dimension of a table can have keys; indices or keys can be used to
> get/set entries and subtables
>
> The first version of L2 will be released later this year, but I will post
> examples and write about the design of the language in the meantime.
