Hello, question moved here from programming to chat list,

I am not trying to start a flame war, so please understand that is not my
intentions. I am looking at either learning APL or J. I am an inexperienced
programmer. My reasoning is that I would like to learn an array language
purely as an academic exercise (you can say, 'for fun').  I know this is a
J forum, so i assume its going to be biased, but is there any reason I
should learn J instead of APL, or vice versa? Aside from J using ASCII
characters instead of 'iverson notation' (excuse me if i got that wrong or
if J also falls in that category), what am i losing out on not focusing on
J and instead on APL?
