   I think the j learning materials are best, particularly 'learning j' (https://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm), though others like 'j for c programmers' (https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm).

   Stop it! I have a lot of real work to do, but my urge to binge "J for C Programmers" is getting harder and harder to control :)

   If you tried before - did you read "J for C programmers"? I found that invaluable in understanding what J actually does.

   You may want to learn J if you read "J for C programmers" - https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help807/jforc/contents.htm . A great book.

   J is definitely more batteries-included than the open source K implementations.

   There's also a wealth of documentation and books on J: J for C Programmers: https://www.jsoftware.com/help/jforc/contents.htm

   Learning J: https://www.jsoftware.com/help/learning/contents.htm

   And the New Vocabulary "Nuvoc" on the wiki: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc

   Edit: spelling.

   desine, learning J, which is in the APL family of languages, is good with "J for C Programmers" https://www.jsoftware.com/docs/help807/jforc/contents.htm - you don't need mental superpowers, Henry Rich gently adds a few new things when you're good with the previous ones.
