      One really cool thing about J is how you filter: to filter array y with function f, you write `(f y) # y`. First `(f y)` produces a sieve (like `1 0 1 0 0 1`), then you apply it with `#`. This means the sieve is treated as a core abstraction, which has all sorts of cool uses.

      Preaching to the choir here, I've got dozens of AutoHotKey hotstrings to write things like ≥ and ∀ and ◇, but needing unicode characters seems to scare a lot of people off

      a surprising amount of support on the go mailing list for «guillemet» generics, i think continental europe is just itching for revenge on the ANSI/ASCII hegemony

      Programming languages would have been better if ASCI included « guillemets » and ≤ bar angle brackets ≥

      The lack of curly quotes is such a perennial disappointment. It’s as if we got | alone instead of ( and ). Imagine how hard it would be to explain to someone from a curly-quote ASCII universe that we start and end strongs with the same character.

      What are your thoughts on making them curly in the presentation layer only? Is there semantic value?

          The semantic value is that the opening and closing quotes are different tokens. You could write "this is a "nested string"" without escaping. You'd still need escaping, just less often.

          Agreed – the ( ) v. just | analogy is definitely imperfect but I think it clarifies things. We could have just | and render it as ( and ) in the presentation layer – it wouldn’t be a disaster – but think of the little affordances we’d lose and the edge cases we’d add.
