J
A derivative and redesign of APL with added features and control structures.
J is purely functional with lexical scope and more conventional control structures, plus several new concepts such as function rank and function arrays.
J was designed and developed by Kennneth E. Iverson and Roger Hui <hui@yrloc.ipsa.reuter.com>.
J uses only the ASCII character set but has a spelling scheme that retains the advantages of APL's special alphabet.
J is a conventional procedural programming language but can be used as a purely functional language.
Version 4.1 for MS-DOS, Sun, Mac, Archimedes.
Source available in C from Iverson Software, +1 (416) 925 6096.
Version 6 package from ISI includes an interpreter and tutorial.
Ported to DEC, NeXT, SGI, Sun-3, Sun-4, Vax, RS/6000, MIPS, Macintosh, Acorn Archimedes, IBM PC, Atari, 3b1, Amiga.
