Hello Roger;
There is no way to tell except by asking the participants. I'm sure
there is a contest question that has been answered by all the APL/J/K
people: that question's forum could be a starting point.
I personally had the most progress from using APL, but that is just my
experience pattern. That Ctrl-Break is, AFAIK, impotent in J is a
showstopper, and K... not even as a joke.
The fact that extended precision is not a primitive of APL is nothing an
hour's worth of programming can't solve.

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").
