You also have listed *:3 4 5 9 16 15 instead of 9 16 25 . That wouldn't really help your case that J is consistent...

Minor details: You provide 3 lines of the vocabulary of J on page 2. Why not tell that the COMPLETE vocabulary is only 41 lines? To me the short language definition is an important quality of J. It is also very nice that J is accessible without charge. You do write the word "compact", but not HOW compact. (192 KB). The compactness contributes to reliability. Elementary examples makes the audience feel comfortable: 3+3 6 3*3 9 3-3 0 3%3 1 3^3 27 27^%3 3 The advanced stuff is impressiv but not comprehensible to non-J'ers. I miss a negative sign "_" in the Newton iteration "close to zero difference" e_16. Good luck!
