[Edu-sig] ACM Urges Obama to Include CS as Core Component ofScience, Math Education

[gerry_lowry (alliston ontario canada)]

Edward Cherlin, in part:  "APL is coming".

Therefore, J, APL'S successor in ASCII, makes sense in this regard.

J has a small footprint and is brilliantly programmed by Roger Hui et al.

Further, Ken Iverson was a teacher until his last breath*.

The J IDE makes a great environment for teacher and student experimentation.


Regards, Gerry (Lowry)

Best wishes to all for a healthy, happy, and safe holiday season.
