*# K's mature support for data warehouses and other OLAP-related tasks
*# last, but never least... a different way of encoding the dictionary verbs (J uses the idea of ''extended'' base characters for related functions, so that if <code>+</code> means something, then <code>+.</code> means something related and <code>+:</code> means something else related too... the problem is that all my years of reading have though my brain to see the '.' and ':' chars as ''separators'' and it is very hard to learn to see them attached to another character in an undivisible pair... furthermore, there is ''no'' lexical distinction between the monadyc and dyadic uses of a verb, making it even more difficult to parse what already are very dense (in the information-load sense) expressions)
*In the end, though, J is the most powerful language I have ever used, and I would not consider anything else (except some kind of J descendant) to use as my main programming tool, at any price. When I work with J, I ''see'' things differently, in a fun, always entertaining way. Hope this helps a bit. — [[User:Danakil|danakil]] 02:44, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
