I think Tobia is referring to Dyalog's dfns, e.g.
{⍺×⍵}
which resemble K's lambdas,
{x*y}
Dyalog and K have dedicated syntax for function blocks whereas J
utilises string literal or fretted forms for explicit definitions.
This syntax can be appealing in nested expressions such as:
{x{x,+/-2#x}/!2}
(borrowed from https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona/wiki/Idioms).
I suggest we continue this thread on the chat forum.
