Is J on android in the play store? I tried searching on "jprogramming"

The reason I ask is that a friend was asking about programming support
on the android and I sort of got ignored when I pointed him at the
download directory.
Thanks,
I didn't find it on the play store but directly downloaded it from the j
Software site: http://www.jsoftware.com/
Depending upon what your friend wants to do, he might find another
language (such as rfo-basic easier to get into and use. Even though I
considered myself a reasonably adept APL programmer 47 years ago, I
found (and still find) J to be opaque at times to use. It is much more
powerful than APL was but has a much steeper learning/maintenance curve.
I find that for many jobs rfo-basic is a nice alternative. I have never
been a big Basic fan, but it is a good utility resource with lots of
examples and documentation.
Hope this helps.
