What Makes a Language an Array Programming Language?
The Array Cast
Is the Symbols So Important?
Even in J, since it has a standard library, it's pretty common to write like each instead of ampersand dot greater than. I tend to write the ampersand version because it doesn't disguise what it's doing. And that gives me more options when I think about breaking it apart.
