So true. A big part of learning J is the process of discovering and appreciating shorter, smoother, or otherwise better ways to accomplish something you just wrote in a longer, rougher, more clumsy manner. Another thing worth stating in this instance is the possibility of ~:&0 in place of -...@=&0 As you indicated, shorter forms are gradually relied upon more readily as fluency grows.
