I love J, APL and the array languages in general. I am always looking for exercises to practice my J skills. I found this article by Tyler Limkemann called "Modeling the COVID-19 Outbreak with J"[1].
I also follow tangentstorm and took some of this J-talks gui code[2], and mashed it up with Tyler's as a J learning exercise. I just put this up on my github. [3]
I highly recommend tangentstorm's YouTube videos too![4]
The concise J code, and the way it makes me approach a problem brings me joy! Given all of my coding projects in J fit on one page, I can revisit them later, and get right back in without worrying about having too many comments or documents to understand my code. I like refining the code over time for fun and learning even after it works, or somebody much smarter than myself shows me a different way to look at it.
