Comment on APL: An Array Oriented Programming Language (2018)parent

Comments

"a readable array oriented programming language. I heard that J fits that bill. What I mean by "readable" is, that it uses ASCII strings and actual names, not merely 1 character"

It definitely doesn't; J is ASCII symbols. See the vocabulary at https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc - those things in the coloured boxes like ": and ;. and {: are the J building blocks and the quotes and brackets don't pair up. If you want words and "actual names", you need something else.
