J Language is a reliable and efficient programming language designed to offer developers the means of creating mathematics and statistics-related applications, as well as software dealing with logical data and analysis tasks.

Since it was conceived by the same developer of APL, the two bear some similarities while, in other areas, they differ completely. First off, the syntax the J Language is simpler and more consistent; anomalous constructions from APL have been discarded while others have been added. Another difference resides in the fact that J permits using standard editing instruments and code management systems. In broad lines, it is a superset of APL.

What is noteworthy about this programming tool is the fact that it can be used for finding solutions to problems that are difficult to solve or even understand, be they old or new. The software built using J Language generally have an IDE, along with standard packages, utilities and libraries.

Moreover, they feature interfaces that support interactions with other programming languages and tools while also including integrated graphics. To ensure the software delivers high performance, it used memory mapped files. J systems include J Database, which is a relational database management system.

Being an open source, community-driven utility, J Language comes with numerous help documentation, examples and information on how to get started, most of which can be found online, on its homepage.

As such, beginners can look at ‘Basic Examples’ and gradually build on their understanding of J Language, consult the extensive documentation and analyze the Lab Examples, as well as the Framework Examples.

What's new in J Language 901:

  • Summary of Changes to the J Language in the release
  • Language addition: gerund"r: the left operand of m"v can now be a cyclic gerund, giving a sequence of verbs to be applied to corresponding cells of the arguments. At long last you can apply a different verb to each cell of a noun. For compatibility with the older uses of m"n, the gerund is recognized only if the ranks v are not all infinite and m is a list of boxes containing a valid gerund. This is an incompatible change only if you used m"n with finite rank and an m that looked like a gerund. In that case, you need to replace m"n with m"_"n.
  • Language change: Scatter-amend support: x m} y changed when m is a numeric array of rank>1. In that case, each 1-cell of m is the index list of a cell of y that is replaced by the corresponding cell of x. This is an incompatible change with J8.07 and earlier, but is compatible with previous J9.01 betas.
