I confess it was me who introduced the "APL/J/K" tag,
as there was no appropriate name in Project Euler when
I joined it. It seemed to me a reasonable catch-nearly-all
for programming languages.
FWIW I've solved most problems with J, a handful in APL,
and probably none in K. I've solved very few with
FORTRAN or DELPHI/PASCAL.
I'm sure the Project Euler people would split the names
out if pressed, though it might dilute the language rankings
if that matters.

I note that extended precision numbers are
a necessity for some Project Euler problems
and of the 3 languages or dialects only J has
primitive support for such numbers.

Project Euler lumps these languages together. Are they equally
represented in the project, or biased towards one of them?

Project Euler comes closer, and I am not surprised that APL/J/K
are on
the leaderboard there (nor am I surprised that pencil & paper
often beat
them out, despite having a much, much slower "compiler").
