This page is a sandbox for discussing the goals of the J community on RC, and to develop guidelines and standards for J code to help achieve those goals. The result will be a J house style.

goals

* increase the usage of J by:
  * increasing its exposure (coverage of tasks)
  * showcasing its strengths (terseness, clarity)
  * making examples accessible to newbies (e.g. judicious naming of code segments)
* provide resource of "good" example J code to J learners
* provide a Rosetta stone for explicit and tacit forms of J
