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

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