Bug#622956: RFP: j -- Run-time environment for the high-level array programming language from Jsoftware

["Kingsley G. Morse Jr." <kingsley@loaner.com>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


I'm happy to report that a great application was
released under the GPL.

Its predecessor, the array programming language
named APL, won the Association for Computing
Machinery's (ACM's) Turing award for its elegant
notation that makes it a "tool for thought".

It's the "j" array programming language.

If you happen to know a developer who's good at
math, who appreciates elegance, and who might be
willing to package j, please let them know it has
been GPL'd.

Thanks,
Kingsley
