Splendid, Devon! Exactly what I was searching j wiki for. I had a vague recollection it was by you, and even did a search on "Devon" looking for it.
…Needle in a haystack! I then tried Easy J, Simple J, EZJ, Core J, Elementary J, Micro J … the one word I didn't think to try was "minimal". But the exercise has left me staggering in awe of the power of the Hive Mind that is the J forum (…fora). I guess "Minimal J" was just 2 pages. Did anyone ever write working code in Devon's micro-language, to see how far they could push it? Together with Dan Bron's page on PrimitivePrimitives, this is material for an intriguing weekend. Apple, going down a like path, has managed to eliminate Intel from its product line. I take that as encouragement – or a warning. I am not Tim Cook -- or Roger Hui. (BTW if anyone is curious to know why I'm pursuing this line of enquiry, ask me.)
