I have used J for "more general tasks". (Though, in one case, I replaced the code with a perl script which was only 3 times slower - the code only took a few minutes to run, once a month, and saving time on installation and deployment was deemed a "greater good". And, that said, I have also used J to model difficult bits of code that I would otherwise have struggled with in other languages - a C# project comes to mind...)
However, I got paid for those efforts. (Either because I was salaried at the time or because I was working on a contract at the time.) Which means someone else owns that code now. So, it would be unprofessional of me to post the code here. Anyways, for me, J is easier than Python. Maybe that just means I do not know enough Python (and enough Python libraries...)? Still, python tends to favor tedious implementations. That said, we have lost a variety of supporting facilities over the years (the sax xml support comes to mind), so there's that, also...
