Hm, not much of a response so far. I don't mean to prod everyone (I  
do), but surely someone here has something good to say for the  
pointfree style beyond the usual "factoring is easier" argument? (I'm  
with Mr. Apter here; I'm not convinced it's of much significance.)

J programmers try to keep programs tacit, Factor programmers try to  
avoid locals... is this just some silly game or is there a reason for  
it?
