The article says you can do the same with cpp and some extra libraries, but I wouldn't immediately think cpp or java was easily beatable -- manjana wonders --
What's the benefit using k vs. c, cpp or java for the same? Does it run or compile faster? The article says you can do the same with cpp and some extra libraries, but I wouldn't immediately think cpp or java was easily beatable -- manjana wonders --
I wonder what are its improvements over APL?
I would use Dyalog APL or J over K in many cases. K is also really expensive (kdb+)...I'm not sure about Shakti (the K inventor formed a new company and left the first one).
Man, I want to like J and K but the constant vibe of "this language is so dense and complex, only a few genius programmers will ever understand it" is getting old.

Have you had a look through the tutorial? Which parts of the tutorial made you feel as if you needed to be a genius to understand it?

Doesn't exactly start off with an inclusive tone.
"Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not authorize any third party to: (i) decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of, reconstruct, or discover any hidden or underlying elements of the Software" Looks like I don't want to spend the effort learning it.
Can someone compare this to Dyalog APL?
