J is an array-oriented, functional programming language designed for expressive, concise, and powerful data manipulation.

Its tacit programming style and array operations make it ideal for mathematics, statistics, and data-intensive tasks.

While niche, J remains influential in quantitative computing, algorithm prototyping, and symbolic analysis.

Is J still in use today?

Yes, primarily in finance, statistics, and research.

Is J similar to APL?

Yes, J is a successor to APL with modern syntax and keyboard independence.

Does J support functional programming?

Yes, it supports functional, tacit, and array-oriented programming.

Why learn J?

To perform concise and powerful array-based computation and develop expertise in symbolic, mathematical programming.
