I'll admit I'm running low on intellectual curiosity at the moment.  
Suffering from thesis paper exhaustion.

What I was getting at is that it appears there's little you can't  
emulate easily via higher order functions in a language like Joy. If  
that's the case, then it seems the advantages are primarily syntactic  
in nature.

It took a slight amount of beating (from Slava Pestov no less) to get  
me to see the light with respect to concatenative languages. If anyone  
has the patience to show me what's what with respect to array  
languages (or, alternatively, a good link), I'd appreciate it.
