I forgot to post them with the alternate infix syntax which is kind of  
cute. I'll give a better explanation as well.

'a b c d e' groups to 'a b (c d e)' and is basically another way of  
writing the construction form (this is a lot like J); '.' is  
composition if that wasn't obvious; 'c' selects the third element in a  
list ('a' is the first, 'b' is second, etc); 't2' takes the first two  
elements of the list passed to it; 'x' is cons; {} is "spread":

    ' = n -x x.{F,'F}
    / = i +x c /F F.t2

I think they're a lot better than the equivalent definitions in Joy or  
Factor. Certainly less unrelated words needed.
