Redick Home Page

Redick is an implementation of the J Programming Language in Common Lisp.

The goals of the Redick project are:

• FOSS- to provide a free open source implementation of the J programming language

• Verbosity - to make the J programming language more verbose and explicit by using English words as opposed to symbols.

• Clarity - to remove ambiguity from the language by using different verb names for monads and dyads

It is presumed that you have learned some J. I started learning J and was immediately enamoured of it. Over time, the tedium of looking up the meaning of symbols began to aggravate me. So hopefully you can get through some basic J material and then extend your knowledge of J through the more verbose perspective that Redick offers.

The best to get started is the User Guide.

• The J IRC channel irc://irc.freenode.net/jsoftware is where we hang out to chat.

• Redick's source repository is stored using the Mercurial version control system
