It is not easy to read and understand the lines. So what? How can I know
its intention?
I have written programs that look similiar. But I knew the intention and
normally wrote down it.
So for programs like this writing J is an engineers task, reading an
archaeologists.
An engineers program in my opinion should show up a bit of documentation.

It isn't hard to parse, but I can't say I find it easy to read. I think that is
because it has several irrelevant steps that make me wonder what it is trying
to do. I think the following are equivalent and easier to read (for me)
[: +/ (({.&.":)&>@p:@i.
or
+/@(({.&.":)&>@p:@i.)

Subject: [Jprogramming] tacit programming
It would be interesting to know how many J ers can easily read tacit
programs.
A line like
[: +/ [:> [: ".&.> [: [ [: {.&.> [: [ [: ":&.>@p: i.
This is something I am not too comfortable to read nor write just like that
even if I do know what it is supposed to do.
Question is if people see it as a better way to program like this tacitly
than just do it in more lines and easily understood steps?
