There's also April APL: https://github.com/phantomics/april

Also the array language family seems to be stronger than ever with foss: ngn/k, BQN, uiua, and of course J but as you mentioned they're all different languages.

I cant recommend enough this april video of Andrew Sengul:

Thank you. I had seen April previously although it looks like it's had a lot of updates since then. I appreciate you bringing it back to my attention :)

It looks like it can load pure APL files.

All the examples I see use the Lisp repl and APL is called within strings. Does it provide an APL repl, too?

April is amazing. I have used J for over a decade, and I am currently being swept away by uiua, but my old Lispy love teamed up with APL in April is a knockout combo: Do the generic stuff with Lisp and the numerical magic with APL.
I had not heard of uiua before, but I'm familiar with both APL and stack languages, so it should fun to explore it its capabilities.
No mention of 'R'?
