Re: [Jprogramming] One word description of J

[Dejun Guo]

How about "razor"?
1. razor implies Array in pronunciation: J is a razor to manipulate
multi-dimensional data (arrays/cubes) both easily and efficiently
2. J dictionary is a razor to attack both syntactic and semantic problems of
PL intensely (1-2 char primitives, amazingly composable syntax/semantics
through monad/dyad/*operator/trains, interesting locales...)
3. J is Occam's razor to program*, the ultimate form of *Occam's
razor***with concrete math origins: succinct, sharp,
thoughts-provoking ...
