I have used J for "more general tasks". (Though, in one case, I replaced the code with a perl script which was only 3 times slower - the code only took a few minutes to run, once a month, and saving time on installation and deployment was deemed a "greater good". And, that said, I have also used J

I like J very much and wonder if it could be used for more general application programming. Does anybody of you use J for more general tasks (e.g. not specifically numeric) in the spirit of e.g. Python applications? If so, is that more or less dificult than doing it in e.g. Python? Any examples

Plot eps/pdf export routines were written a few years back when there was little or no support for arbitrary unicode in eps/pdf, though european characters do seem to work correctly. I am not sure the situation has changed much since then, but the plot code has not. It may be better to use another
