What exactly is ".NET J?"

[Maximilien]

Isn't it Java .net ? I thought it was discontinued ?

Do you mean this[^]?

J#[^] perhaps? It's pretty much "Java but .NET"

[Keith Barrow]

J# was, VS2010 didn't have it installed by default IIRC. There is a J language, but it is functional and nothing to do with Java.

Is this J#? This was MS's attempt to temp Java programmers over to the dark side, which pretty much failed. There is a language called J, but it isn't bundled with VS2010 (nor was J#) and is unrelated to J#/Java. [Edit] Can you create a project and post up some of the generated source.

Yeah, I tried dabbling with J[^] for a while.

I've tried dabbling with scheme but frankly haven't really stuck at it for long enough, I need a proper project to get going really. FP does look interesting though.

Even as an APLer J hurts my eyes.

[Bassam Abdul Baki]

Yeah! But it does have some of the shortest commands I've seen.

It proves that terseness is not always best, which in conventional languages it almost always is. 3 !: 0? Really? You can do some really amazing clever stuff in it, though. You just have to be cleverer than me to actually be able to read J code.

[Bassam Abdul Baki]

Understanding it and using it are not quite the same. I can do the first give or take, but the latter still eludes me. I should get back on it when I have the time.
