To me it seems J is designed so that it is efficient for the machine
to interpret. Since I knew making it readable was not a priority, I
created my own mapping for some symbols. Unfortunately my project
was interrupted by more pressing problems.
People said J is more difficult because it is expressing complex
concepts however with APL - new concepts were elucidated. With J it
is always like teasing apart knots in a puzzle.

Even less do I think that it would make a major difference in how
widely
used J becomes. The niche status of APL indicates that an
implementation
of J that looked more like standard APL wouldn't wow the world at
large.
