Compliments of the Comp.lang.functional FAQ;

   J was designed and developed by Ken Iverson and Roger Hui.
   It is similar to the language APL, departing from APL in
   using using the ASCII alphabet exclusively, but employing a
   spelling scheme that retains the advantages of the special
   alphabet required by APL. It has added features and control
   structures that extend its power beyond standard APL.
   Although it can be used as a conventional procedural
   programming language, it can also be used as a pure functional
   programming language.
