Line 1:
== bytecode and interpreted ==
I have added both "bytecode" and "interpreted" execution models to J. This is because bytecode is the available category which best describes how tacit code is represented, and interpreted is the available category which best describes how explicit code is represented in J602 (and, presumably, the upcoming versions).

== Is J esoteric? ==
Line 7 ⟶ 13:
:: Yeah, you're right. I guess I didn't look at enough examples. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 08:53, 10 December 2007 (MST)
:Definitely not esoteric, though very hard to read unless you have learned the vocabulary and tacit programming idioms. I would encourage folks to annotate the examples here and also contribute well annotated examples to the Literate Programs wiki (see [[Help:Similar Sites]]). --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] 13:11, 10 December 2007 (MST)
::: I was curious about that quoted line and so I went and looked it up -- it actually would not work in current versions of J (because <code>x.</code> was replaced with <code>x</code> in 1996 when J version 6 was released) - unless backwards compatibility is enabled, you should use <code>x</code> instead of <code>x.</code> to refer to the left argument. (That line of code was also commented out, on the [http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Phrases/Arith source page].) That said, the code this was extracted from would take a string like '1.25' or '1.25(25)' and return an exact fraction (5 divided by 4 for the first example and 124 divided by 99 for the second - treating the part in parenthesis as repeating infinitely). In this context, <code>x.</code> was the numeric base for the conversion (10 by default) and p was the number extracted from the parenthesis, and the above line of code would have dealt with the repeating fraction part of the number. It would have calculated nothing meaningful for '1.25' and for '1.25(25)' its value would have been 25 divided by 99. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 16:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
== Jedi (was Jers) ==
The "Jers" section could be maintained by the site if all the users would sign up and put a <nowiki>{{mylang|J|proficiency}} row in a {{mylangbegin}}...{{mylangend}}</nowiki> table. The users would show up in [[:Category:J User]] which is already on the language page. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 13:17, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:: Yes, but I'm not sure some of the Jers perceive themselves to be involved enough in RC to sign up. Also, having the special section allows me to add value to the Jers list (like links to the J wiki).
I changed the designation of people-who-use-J to "Jedi" because it's more fun but I didn't change the earlier references here. --[[User:DevonMcC|DevonMcC]] 10:51 16 July 2015 (UTC-5)

Line 18 ⟶ 26:
:Er, they do. It's in the sidebar, "unimplemented tasks" --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 16:04, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
::oops, thank you. [[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 22:25, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
:::It is probably worth noting that unimplemented tasks no longer appears in the sidebar. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 18:37, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
:::: I thought that having those pages appear within their language categories would be sufficient, but it appears that turned out not to be the case. Whoever wants to revert those changes, go ahead. I've been meaning to, but work has been insane all week, and I can't take the time to do much else that requires significant attention. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 21:01, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
::::It does appear. It's just called "Solve a Task". --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 23:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

* All tasks under heading '''D'''. --[[User:Tikkanz|Tikkanz]] 05:08, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
You may want to reconsider doing this, since at the moment I'm working on a bot to correct lang tags for nearly every task and nearly every language (including J) on Rosetta Code. It won't be perfect, but it should get the majority of cases right. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 11:48, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
:Will it add tags where they don't already exist, or just fix existing ones?--[[Special:Contributions/203.114.138.159|203.114.138.159]] 18:38, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
::The former. It's gotten rather smart. More details to follow soonish (probably before Monday, if not today). —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 19:16, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
