Is there a way to read this style of C, without prior knowledge of APL, J, or K? Can people with prior knowledge read this more easily? I'm asking this because this is the first time I took the time to read that `j.c` and it wasn'

Using church numerals[1], right_incr(n) = g => y => n(g)(g(y)) and using the following shorter fixed-point combinator[2], X(f) = ( a => a(a) )( x => f(x(x)) ) I get this junk: X(right_incr) = ( a =
