J has an Android interpreter, which for me as a non-professional dabbler is the killer app since it means I can study and play on my handheld devices when I'm on a break from work or family. The documentation is pretty decent compared to the other members of the Iverson gang and the libraries one can install with the desktop version makes it somewhat batteries included, at least it's easy to suck in a file and start rendering plots. Maybe BQN can compete on these things nowadays, I'm not sure.

You can run BQN in termux on Android pretty well. A list of libraries is available at https://github.com/pellertson/awesome-bqn https://github.com/pellertson/awesome-bqn. https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/ has pretty good documentation.

  Thanks, I'll try it out.

  err, on the Android termux thing - building CBQN is annoyingly slightly non-trivial - have to `pkg install libandroid-spawn`, and then `make for-build lf=-landroid-spawn; make lf=-landroid-spawn`, because android doesn't come with posix_spawn.
