- avmich 4y agoYeah, some refusals look like failures of imagination. J is "tool for thought" because there is a relatively - comparing to other languages - short distance between a thought and its implementation in the language. When e.g. somebody writes Java, her fingers used to type "for(int i = 0; i < ...; i++) {" without much thought. In J this whole construction is just hidden inside the language.
