And it worked! I got into the J source because I was teaching a
highschool class in J and the Lab that I had written ran into an error
in the debugger. I needed that lab to work, so I went in and fixed the
bug. Little did I suspect that I would end up spending most of my time
working on the J source. It could happen to you too.

Ok. I will try with VS2013.
I'm curious. Why do you want to build from source and not just use the
install packages we distribute?
Simple response:
Because i can.
Because it's more fun for a developer.
This what open-source is about.
Also, there is a small chance i will contribute something for the J
commmunity in the future.
This would not be the case if J was not not open-source.
I once produced a Cygwin version of J 701b. I will produce a Cygwin
version of J 9.
This means some new people may be introduced to J.
And last, i was an APL user, now i am a J fan who says nice thing about J
...
With all due respect, i am curious. Why did you open-source J ?
