An Implementation of J – Incunabulum
The code won't compile on modern C compilers due to some antiquated syntax. https://github.com/tangentstorm/j-incunabulum has a translation that should work on modern compilers.
The original code is worth investigating if you're into CS archeology. J is as interesting of a language as Lisp and I was amazed by the tiny implementation. However, the original code is buggy and will crash on slightly malformed input.

Origins of J
true. only k is faster, easier to learn, and does the trick :)
that said, i hold the view that mastering programming in an ultra-high level language such as APL or k does not absolve a computer programmer from learning lingua franca of our trade, which is due to k&r, will stay around for a very long time, and is called C.
people who don’t know c are ok, only they are not involved in computer programming. their field is known as software development. feel the difference.
i once attempted to convey my own understanding of this divide in a chapter titled “no stinking loops”, which is a nod to Apter’s mandatory nsl.com:

What are some alternatives?
