The J programming Language.
J is a modern, high-level, general-purpose, high-performance programming
language. J is portable and runs on Windows, Unix, Mac, and PocketPC
handhelds. J runs both as a GUI and in a console (command line).

For what ? Instead of C++ for sources, SDL for scenes, HTML for documentation
of for implementing some new features?

Is that maintained only by one company? No other independant releases of
compilers (I hope there is compiler to native code)? I do not think it is
right choose to choose monopoly.

Looks like good old APL (without the fancy characters, that were so much
part of the fun) to me.

I think "proprietary" is the word you're looking for.

J is particularly strong in the mathematical, statistical, and logical
analysis of arrays of data. It is a powerful tool in building new and
better solutions to old problems and even better at finding solutions
where the problem is not already well understood.

What kind of problems will it find solutions for so that I don't have to do
that myself?

But POV really doesn't deal with big arrays of similar data very much. A
scene is a complex data structure, and a raytracer uses a wide range of
algorithms...this type of analysis won't really help you render it.

So you're suggesting it as a tool for refining the algorithms used? Can
you give an example of how it would help?
BTW, don't multi-post. If the message truely pertains to multiple
groups, cross-post to those groups. This keeps the discussion coherent
and doesn't leave multiple copies of messages on the server.
