Try looking at DNA and RNA - A C G T - four words - building blocks
for lots of expression.

Well! Don't you see the number of primitives in J leads to a far more

Besides, as I already said, anyone can come up with a graphical
substitution
for J but would it really be less complex and more elegant
considering the
number of primitives and other factors of complexity ?
I really enjoyed playing with numbered cubes way back when I was 4
years old
but now I need to read too... The numbered cubes were colorful,
elegant and
a climax of simplicity too... ;O)

Subject: Re: Re[Jchat] adable J
I don't know any reason for APL not to handle OCDB and SQL - but I
preferred non-relational databases for many applications and apl
allowed me to build them. I am aware of the progress and extentions
of J beyond apl - I just wish it came with an esthetic that I know is
possible if it were a high priority - there are plenty of ugly but
useful solutions that get carried forward because that's what works.
