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.

J

is a consonant in English, but some nations use it as a vowel -- than which nothing could be more absurd. Its original form, which has been but slightly modified, was that of the tail of a subdued dog, and it was not a letter but a character, standing for a Latin verb, "jacere", "to throw," because when a stone is thrown at a dog the dog's tail assumes that shape. This is the origin of the letter, as expounded by the renowned Dr. Jocolpus Bumer, of the University of Belgrade, who established his conclusions on the subject in a work of three quarto volumes and committed suicide on being reminded that the j in the Roman alphabet had originally no curl.

\j\ (jā). j is the tenth letter of the english alphabet. it is a later variant form of the roman letter i, used to express a consonantal sound, that is, originally, the sound of english y in yet. the forms j and i have, until a recent time, been classed together, and they have been used interchangeably.
note: in medical prescriptions j is still used in place of i at the end of a number, as a roman numeral; as, vj, xij. j is etymologically most closely related to i, y, g; as in jot, iota; jest, gesture; join, jugular, yoke. see i. j is a compound vocal consonant, nearly equivalent in sound to dzh. it is exactly the same as g in gem. see guide to pronunciation, §§ 179, 211, 239.

    Ĵ
    Ĵ or ĵ (J circumflex) is a consonant in Esperanto orthography, representing a voiced postalveolar fricative (either palato-alveolar or retroflex), and is equivalent to (voiced postalveolar fricative) or (voiced retroflex fricative) in the IPA.

    While Esperanto orthography uses a diacritic for its four postalveolar consonants, as do the Latin-based Slavic alphabets, the base letters are Romano-Germanic. Ĵ is based on the French letter j to better preserve the shape of borrowings from that language (such as ĵurnalo from journal) than Slavic ž would.
