I have been very interested in this project, but I have not had time to implement it in my workflow. Particularly a project that was on my radar several years ago, but it seems to have lost momentum is tail2futhark[1], a way of compiling APL via tail into futhark for easier gpu programming from APL. I love array languages, and J was my first, followed by APL, and a bit of k. I am noticing a lot of uptake of the array languages this year based on YT content and traffic on the usual array hangouts.
In trying to make APL my primary PL, I have been playing with April[2], a subset of APL in Lisp, another old favorite PL. It is a blast. I am honing both my Lisp and APL skills, and they seem to cover each other's weaknesses for easier adoption in the general programming world.
