In J, according to J for the APL Programmer—Chris Burke and Roger Hui
There are no nildic verbs. This allows verbs to be assigned, if no
argument is given. This function assignment is also available in
APLW, but there can only work with verbs that are not niladic. The
J equivalent of an APL niladic function is a monadic verb that
ignores its argument, which nevertheless must be given.
The purpose of the term niladic is thus to point out the difference
with APL so it is important to use the same term as used with APL.
If you are on the other hand pointing out a difference with a
language where anadic has been adopted in its meta language then
you will need to use that term to say that J does not have an
equivalent.
