An implementation of J in a language like Haskell might be interesting. I'm not sure that another C implementation is all that interesting. Note also that the parser is a language primitive: http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/d332.htm and it's not clear, to me, how an implementation using lex (or flex or any other such tool) could be made support the full specification. I imagine that a yacc/bison implementation could be made to support J's parsing rules (http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm), but I am not sure that I would want to do it that way (seems like more work than necessary).
