Hold up, I think I just stumbled on to a fellow alum.

Which university are you talking about?

(I'm learning J and other APL derivatives right now by myself by experimenting with the J docs and pinging the amazing people at the J software forums).

Trinity University in San Antonio. One of our profs has been working on J for decades.

You haven't, I just think that it's a wonderful language. I really wish it was Open Source...it makes me sad.

J is open source and free software as of March 2011 under GPLv3.

See you at the J software forums.
