== Introduction

Redick is an implementation of the http://www.jsoftware.com[J
Programming Language] in http://sbcl.sf.net[Common Lisp].

== Motivation

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

== Overview and Examples

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 link:r4c.html[User Guide].
