It seems to me that the above construction works for the UNIX family
but
not for Windows; at least, I managed to run a version of the above in a
very basic BusyBox system but I could not figure out how to run a
version of it in Windows 10. Am I wrong? (Admittedly, my knowledge
regarding this matter is very limited.)
You're not wrong. The '$' there signifies a unix shell's prompt. That
CLI example also assumes that 'j' in your environment starts the right
binary. The point was just to show that the J works at all. The other
point was to closely imitate the C in using fork(), which probably
doesn't work as readily on windows. system/main/task seems to use
CreateProcessW instead.
Looking again data/jd/server/fork, it's not really intended to be used
as a library. So a better sentence is
exit echo 2 [ (((unxlib'c'),' fork >x')&cd bind '') ''
