You can use words in J and APL by defining them. avg =: +/%# &.> is predefined as 'each'. Same for APL, but the idea is to learn what the symbols mean, so you can keep it concise and think in composing functions and not reading pages of text. Sort of like mathematicians and mathematical symbols. I program in J and APL, but I have taken to BQN lately. It is the best of both with some additions too.
