With a handful of helpers you can get close to APL/J/K in any language.
The evidence for that is that the 'famous' first draft implementation of J in C is about a page of code.
The difference tends to be more that the APL way of thinking is hard for people to get used to, and so most non - APL'y languages tends to lack methods to support the bits that makes the APL family solutions brief. But adding naive versions of those facilities is easy.
