Hi Steven,
APL was the first programming language I learned back in the 70s. Loved
it! Haven't used it much since unfortunately. I did try J a few
decades later but couldn't get into it.

I've not tried this in a while but gnu-apl-mode (available from MELPA)
sets up the keyboard to use the super key for input of APL characters
but also defines an APL input method [1]. And, of course, you can
always input unicode characters directly (C-x 8 RET) although this is
less convenient.

It depends on how much you want to do in this regard. If you have an
APL mode installed, you can at least have APL src blocks which you can
edit. Anything more than that (executing the code in org mode), you'll
need to create an ob-apl.el file which implements the bits necessary for
invoking the APL system.
HTH,
eric
