It’s awe-inspiring to see a K program where the comments are in another APL variant (I can’t pretend to know which):

  {d:~1=':s:^x             / s‿e←1⊸»⊸(>⋈
This program implements a Pigdog Latin translator, bien sûr.

this looks like some compiled program's binary viewed as unicode WTF

is there any way i can try this out?

ngn k : https://codeberg.org/ngn/k

kona : https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona

alto a javascript implementation even with a graphics library : https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok

edit : assuming you were talking about k and not freq

I... just can't. I work a lot with data, so it sounds like it should be a good fit for what I do, but I find that writing the damn code in a normal language is much more productive. Maybe it's my brain that's wired wrong, but I fail to see how the entire construction is supposed to help.

Ah, look at that ngn k link. They even golf the file names of the source code of the interpreter itself :D

Isn't the original APL the only lang that uses actual Unicode symbols for operators?

There’s also at least BQN, which I suspect is the language used in those comments:
