[Jprogramming] @: and capped fork

[Raul Miller]

There are several ways of translating that javascript code into J, I
would have to know something about the larger context to know which of
them I would pick.

That said, one of the simplest would be:

do_something 'bee'
do_something 'see'

Another variation would be:

b_a_=: 'bee'
s_a_=: 'see'
do_something at do_a_&> nl_a_ 0

But obviously one of my questions would be: why do we even have an
object here, and does a different arrangement make sense?
