- When writting J applications I find that I usually
- define verbs and nouns in scripts (using 0!:2 and
- 0!:3) rather than in workspaces. This allows me
- to write applications which can be easily printed
- and ported. However, there is so much support in
- the language for the workspace concept I wonder if
- this approach is inefficient. ( This feeling is
- reinforced by the fact that the j-interaction-mode.el
- file for running J under emacs doesn't support 0!:2
- or 0!:3). Would anyone like to offer an opinion on
- opinion on good programming protocol?
-
-
- Also, if I develop an application using workspaces,
- is there a clever method of rewriting all verbs and
- nouns into a script?
-
- Thanks,
