Erm, jqt is nice, but it ain't that nice! It isn't exactly native either.
- 7thaccount 7y agoI was kinda thinking the exact same thing with regards to J. Btw Scott, I've been meaning to ask you about what tools you're using for your work for awhile, but don't see an email address anywhere on your blog. It seems like you've tried Lush, Clojure, Lua (Torch 7), J, R, and a bunch of other technologies. I've had the chance to try some of these for hobby purposes, but nothing for work yet, so I would trust your evaluation more than mine. Have you given up on array languages all together?
- scottlocklin 7y agoI use R for most data science, J and C for hobby/future development on the rare occasion I have time. Never touch the others.
- 7thaccount 7y agoAh, so Clojure and Lush didn't stand the test of time. Good to know.
- scottlocklin 7y agoLush is worth people's attention for its design, but I didn't feel like getting involved with language maintenance: my strengths are elsewhere. J also solves all the problems Lush did and has a larger user community. Clojure was cool, but JVM is basically worthless to me.
