Easy-J

Synopsis

J is both a language and an exceptional programming package which provides a

highly concise notation for specifying much that is done routinely in the day to day

business of computing, such as sorting, searching, updating and restructuring data. Its

inventor and designer is Dr. K.E. Iverson, who also devised the language APL, out of

which J developed. The first J interpreters appeared around 1990, since when the

language has grown in popularity and application, particularly in the world of finance,

where its conciseness and power for rapid algorithm development is highly valued.

Amazingly, this algorithm-rich software is available free by download from
