To increase speed on manipulating big arrays in Java with minimal
bounds checking, would it be possible to have some operators that only
do bounds checking at the boundaries of the array?

Maybe some sort of APL like functions?

If you're looking for commercial solutions then SmartArrays might be of interest. It's very APL-like and supports Java and .NET, from what I've read in the past. The authors have a long history of development of APL interpreters and systems.
