You can certainly package the j interpreter together with your own application, likely including a small shell or batch script to start the former on the latter; the end-user experience need not have seams. On Fri, 5 Aug 2022, Richard Donovan wrote: Thank you Elijah for your interesting answe

You cannot; JE is a direct interpreter, and it does not produce objects. That said, you are in luck: to most people who might want to discover your methods, being written in j would be a greater hindrance than being written in machine code. Generally, obfuscation is somewhat fraught. If you
