The C and J languages have no built in functions. IO provided through the libraries or foreign conjunctions. The nial averaging example appears to have a built in sum function. I find this akin to comparing unix with windows. unix provides a command line accessible tool box enabling wondrous transformations whereas windows makes easy those operations the programmers chose for us, all else being immensely cumbersome.
