Perhaps also worth noting is that the underlying language concepts are meant to represent the capabilities of hardware. For example, in principle, you could implement and use the language without a stack - this would mean that a word's definition could not be used during the execution of that word. All current J implementations support recursion, but in some sense this is a convenience, and it's reasonable to imagine J implementations which do not (perhaps in a "compile to silicon" implementation).
