I didn't expect or intend to offend, but no, it's not presumptuous.
You yourself said, 'I don't know what "til", "find", "raze", "where",
"all", "each", and "amend" do'. The "array primitives" that you do
understand, you only know about because you're extremely conversant
with functional list-processing languages (not array languages). This
shouldn't be insulting to you; you're a highly productive and
intelligent person who thoroughly understands CS. I want to challenge
the array language community to come out and educate us if they're
dissatisfied with our work.
