1+2-3×4÷5
could be converted to
1+2-3*4%5
automatically. I guess only Dyalog APL supports function trains, and J has more modern features. It would be interesting to use J as a backend. I really wish GNU APL could support function trains soon.
- eggy 11y agoI haven't run across any in my J studies, but J has evolved away from base APL, so I think it might be possible to do a direct tranliteration, but would miss some niftier ways of doing it in J. I am merely a student of J and APL, though fascinated every day by both of them. I usually go back and forth from Dyalog APL to J depending on the task or the read that sets me off on discovery.
