Although I no zero APL, I understand that J was born from APL with an ASCII
character set and some ideas from Backus' languages.
And I am aware many J programmers are also APL programmers.
So do modern APL dialects provide any functionality not included in J?
For example, or counterexample, I do not think APL has forks and hooks, Which
add a lot of flexibility to J.
The point of the question, being blunt but not wanting to offend anyone, is
there any technical reason one might choose to write a new app in APL rather
than J?
