Re: [Jprogramming] J and APL symbols

2013-04-06 Thread Greg Borota
In my mind, which I probably didn't convey in writing clearly, the APL symbols mentioning were meant mostly to convey an idea; the use of single symbols which are closer to one is used with in math world. Without having to re-write J engine, but just for display inside editor. I would have used APL

I wonder, could you propose an actual assignment on what APL symbols you'd use for what in J? What would you do with the cases when J uses the same or similar symbol for very different functions than classical APL (such as semicolons, brackets, tilde, star), and when J pairs monadic and dyadic ver

Android voice recognition already works like that to some extent. If you say the word "plus" in a sentence the letters "plus" appear in the text. If you say "plus" between saying two numbers the symbol "+" appears. But I haven't found a word to generate the "enter" key. On Sat, Apr 6, 2013 at 7:4

Wow, these are such great ideas. I only thought of the ASCII to symbol display conversion, didn't think of the other possibilities. Especially about speaking your programs. My hands start to have problems from the too much keyboard typing, speaking my programs would be so desirable at this stage...

All, I tend to agree with Devon & Giles, in that using the standard APL character set for J is not a very good idea. For one thing, a primitive in J may often have subtly different functionality than the a similar primitive in APL, which could cause considerable confusion for those using both lang
