Interesting recent projects, TAIL - typed array intermediate language http://www.elsman.com/pdf/array14_final.pdf
uses structures very similar to J's internal noun format. (all of the items are the same anyway, though it perhaps only has int and double data types) Semantics for core operations are similar to J (take with negative index takes from the end) used with a SML apl to TAIL compiler https://github.com/melsman/apltail/ A more interesting project is the Futhark language, and its leveraging of the above 2 projects to target GPUs, and extends datatypes to char, bool, tuples. Futhark feels higher level and cleaner than TAIL. spec paper: http://futhark-lang.org/publications/fhpc16.pdf more general overview/benchmark/example site: http://futhark-lang.org/index.html pretty much every link there is interesting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
