J is unclear on the concept, it's a hack to port APL to ASCII. I'm typing on a ZMK keyboard now where an APL unicode layer would be trivial. There are modern APLs. One can code a iOS keyboard with AI help.

While a native APL would be nice, the cloud solution would be robust access to a professional product. Build the chain via existing tools to bridge the iPad to APL running on a desktop machine.

I looked into this recently; but I've decided on Lean 4 as the successor "best language in existence" for my needs.
