I absolutely agree. I’ve never had an actual use case which made sense for me to utilize J vs a conventional alternative but it is a blast and I too get pleasure from the “weird” in programming.
- avmich 7y agoI've had a positive example of using J for a prototype which wasn't algorithmically clear initially. So I had to twist and turn some parts to figure out what actually is possible and simultaneously good enough. Interesting that developing a POC in J took about 40 minutes and then rewriting it into C# took 3 hours, even though with C# it was clear what's needed. J can be surprisingly efficient for research work.
