Parallelism discussions have centered around the idea that J is an
array language, and some of the primitives can be vectorized, hence
appropriate for parallelism.

It may also be worth noting that J is a functional programming
language, and pure functions can be executed in any order.  Obviously
not every J verb is pure, but there is that assumption in functional
programming contexts, for example ^: .  This could be a mechanism for
coarser-grained parallelism than fixating on primitives.

Best wishes,

John
