That page took about 30 seconds to load, apparently because chrome decided to sit for 30 seconds between loading the page and loading the first script on that page (jQuery). Not really directly relevant, but I data transparency has a lot of issues which do not seem directly relevant.
Anyways, the way to get good at something is to do a lot of it. And to have good tools for getting at the things you need when you do a lot... Right now, J doesn't have anything like php / asp.net / rails / django ... In some ways, jhs hits that same region, but it's designed for developers, not for end user applications. Also, J doesn't have anything with the ease of use of ". which can be safely fed content from untrusted browsers -- no one has cared. Also, J doesn't have a simple way of managing multiple processes or tasks. Anyways... needs thought... lots of scope of work issues, here. -- Raul On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 4:15 PM, Devon McCormick <devon...@gmail.com> wrote: > This competition (and ones like it) - http://datatransparency.wsj.com/ > - is something for which I'd like to use J but I'm afraid we're still > not ready for prime-time to use J for web-based development - at least > the GUI end of it. > > Do people have thoughts on this? > > -- > Devon McCormick, CFA > ^me^ at acm. > org is my > preferred e-mail > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
