Thank you for saying this. I don't think anybody else noticed. In fact, people in the J community occasionally get confused about this as well. Most people shit their pants when confronted with something like FP (Backus language demonstrating these ideas): I know I did when I first encountered J. Much more confusing than ML or Lisp. Still not sure it's the right thing, but for parallel problems it probably is. Kids don't seem to have a problem with it though, so it's probably just old habits.
