[Jprogramming] Base/antibase question

[Linda Alvord]

   h=:  "."0@": 
   i=: 13 :' ("."0)":y'
   (h-:i) 314159
1
  
   5!:4 <'h'
            ┌─ ".
      ┌─ " ─┴─ 0 
── @ ─┴─ ":      
   
   5!:4 <'i'
  ┌─ [:      
  │     ┌─ ".
──┼─ " ─┴─ 0 
  └─ ":      
   

What if  (“.”0)  and  (,.&.”:)   and were displayed as forks rather than hooks.  Many complex sentences will not “unlock” with a display of the function:

    f
,.&.":
   h
"."0@":
   
So I use  5!:4 very often. I guess of they looked more like forks I would get steered in the right direction in the dictionary faster.  I guess it is sort of personal preference.
