This is my first post; my hope is this is an appropriate question. My knowledge of APL and J is very limited so my expectation is a simple answer that is within my limited ability to grasp.
Examples: How similar are both APL and J? To the best of my recollection APL could be written with EBCDIC so why J? Can APL do everything J can do and visa versa? Can APL and J be forced to be strongly typed? Are APL and J capable of being Object Oriented like C++ or C#? Would one view J as a superset of APL? Are J and APL more than niche languages? Sorry if any of these questions are perceived to be offensive, probably they have been asked many times before. Sorry also if these questions are deemed silly such as a toddler might ask.
