  A side effect of the small length available for titles and the whole titles should not be editoralised point of view.

    It's more an issue of todsacerdoti not checking their submission titles will fit, they do this a lot with their submissions. Abbreviating titles is not frowned upon when they don't fit, I've never had any reverted to something like this submission's title because I (for instance) shortened "United States" to "US" to shave off 11 characters. In this case, cutting out the superfluous "programming language" part would get you "Understanding-j: An introduction to J that gets to the point" which would fit just fine. When in doubt, include the original title in a comment to explain the edit and let the mods sort it out later.

      It's hard to check if titles fit if you use a bot to repost from other sites.

        Fair, they're lazy and can't be bothered to fix their bot even after 5 years of submitting messed up titles.
