Well.. those tend to get posted about less often for a variety of reasons - someone else typically owning the code being one of them.
Still, I've used J at various times for various parsing applications, for helping to deal with large sets of data, for modeling code needed for implementation in a different language, and for creating simple UIs. Mostly the issue with professional programming is that it is largely exploratory, so you wind up replacing or scrapping a lot of it after a few months or years (or retaining a lot of dead code). You can see this in various grumblings about enterprise code and about software management.
