Computer languages and Mathematics tend to generate parentheses. Too
many can be confusing. The entities that cause them in a right to left
language are dyadic nouns. Explict J has some clever ways of avoiding dyadic
verbs and parentheses - like obverse, square, decrement and increment.
in tacit J,"@:" seems a way of avoiding parentheses. Couldn't the
phrase:
V1 @: V2 @: V3, instead be written:
(V1 ( V2 V3))
If so, I would understand better if the document told me the real reason
why I need to use: "@:".
