K for Joy Programmers (paper)

stevan apter — 2003-05-31 16:40:36

the first few sections of this paper are finished, although i 

hope to expand the examples.  this covers the verbs and adverbs.

i hope to complete the next section, on indexing and amend, over

the next few days.  a further section on dictionary and table 

programming is probably also warranted.

Extremely interesting, so far.  The strengths of Joy and K seem to 

amplify each other.   

 

The only aspect of cK that perplexes me is the definition of find: 

wouldn't it be better to return 'I' when find fails?  What can one do 

with an integer index one greater than the size of the vector 

searched?
