I beg to differ(the visual part) though as you said, that really is nothing
but preference and style. I kind of learning J as Chinese. So '&>' is kind
of 'two chinese words' and "0 is 'one chinese word'. So I don't see any
difference at all between them 'visually in my brain', or kind of an
'expanded character set' as in APL.
Not arguing which one is better but giving a perspective from a newbie.
