I think that this is a little bit more readable,

compose =: 4 : 0
a =. ((0{x) * (0{y))
b =. ((0{x) * (1{y)) + ((1{x) * (3{y))
c =. ((2{x) * (0{y)) + ((3{x) * (2{y))
d =. ((2{x) * (1{y)) + ((3{x) * (3{y))
a,b,c,d
)

Hope that this sort of expressions will not happen frequently.

To be an array processing language, I am surprised to find the Pike code more
readable for this particular problem. Please spruce up my J code.

-- Pike code follows --

array(int) compose(array(int) a, array(int) b)
{
  return ({ a[0]*b[0], a[0]*b[1]+a[1]*b[3],
            a[2]*b[0]+a[3]*b[2], a[2]*b[1]+a[3]*b[3] });
}
