No problem, but this is a very different question!

APL had probably the most influence on the design of J, and articles on APL and J previously mentioned should help here. There is also a lab in
the system, "Mathematical Roots of J".

I don't think Mathematica had any influence on J, though perhaps APL had
a minor influence on Mathematica.
