If I pick up an array language to ramp up on 2019, should I start with APL or J? I know that both of them were created by the same person, and that J is supposed to be an evolution of APL’s approach, but I don’t know if it would make a difference to a beginner like me. I kind of like the weird charset :)

- coliveira 7y agoI think the open source version of J is more mature and has a larger community. It also has a lot of support packages that are not available for open source APL. If you are trying to write real-life projects, J seems to be a better option at this time.
