As a "permanent J beginner" it seems to me that the cavalier way
in which existing systems are "broken" by new releases is possibly
one of the reasons that J has failed to make a wider impression into
the software scene. No business enterprise could possibly have
major systems written in J if it was likely that a new release of the
software would bring the walls tumbling down!

I agree. Very unfortunate especially since we math oriented folks readily
use these one letter variables. We have centuries of tradition behind x and
y and z for example.
