Looks wonderful, thanks for sharing your work!

a. How did you get into it?

b. Why J, as opposed to another APL implementation? In particular, the different syntax, I suppose I mean.

Thanks!

I think it was a Tutankhamun quote, paraphrase "it's 5% the idea and the implementation, 95% having been born into a family who are very wealthy and who also happen to do a good job instilling the innate belief in you that dominating in business is everything".

There's a shockingly large number of people out there with buckets of "intelligence + talent + ideas" who never get the opportunity to move to the "implementation" phase of anything as they're too busy surviving, and the world is all the poorer for it.

As if that cruel ignominy weren't enough on its own, we are also blessed with the spectacle of ignoramuses piling up and blaming the "plebs" for a situation they've no control over. What a double whammy.

In a roundabout way, I wonder does this one fit what you're after:

https://bogart.openmathbooks.org/ctgd/ctgd.html

And more directly, a quick browse showed up a book called:

"Mathematical Notation: A Guide for Engineers and Scientists" which looks like it addresses your issue directly.

Yes, I'm sure given 729 hours it'd come up with something useful.
