I was reading https://computinged.wordpress.com/2016/01/11/announcing-a-new-framework-to-define-k-12-computer-science-education/ and his point about processes struck a nerve.
A process (as opposed to a task*) is a pretty important concept, and one that we've been sloppy about, in J. 2!:1 is documented as returning '' instead of the process id needed for 2!:3. It's also documented as not working on windows (even under cygwin). I think both of these are mistakes. And on top of that, on a mac: 2!:1 'sleep 3' does not return immediately. At least, not with 9!:14'' j804/j64/darwin/release/commercial/www.jsoftware.com/2015-12-21 18:06:25 (Is chat the right forum for non-beta bug reports?)
