A little over a year ago that may have been my response too. But now I
would say that, just like with APL (and any other language that uses a
previously unknown set of symbols) there is some initial work involved
in learning the symbols of the language.

Right now you have already learnt the APL symbol set and for that
reason you find it to be readable. If you'd put the same effort into
learning the J symbol set you'd probably find it just as readable as
APL. One thing I did find easier about learning the J symbol set was
that I already knew which how to type the symbols.
