Impending kOS

Googled around, Kuro5hin (that's a name I haven't seen for some time) has a tutorial for K from 2002: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2002/11/14/22741/791

The download link at http://www.kparc.com/ asks for password, so I'm not sure whats going on with that.

Here's the text editor they're talking about: http://www.kparc.com/edit.k The code is, well, not the easiest to understand.

That's an understatement. If we are allowed code like this, I can write an editor in ONE line of JavaScript. :)

Here is the four line version: http://www.kparc.com/$/edit.k (lines beginning with / are comments)

I think he does a better job than uglifyjs can

Looking at his code on http://www.kparc.com/edit.k I'd like to disagree with that statement

If I posted four lines of Chinese or Sanskrit, it's likely that native English speakers would disagree that they had much meaning either. However, this doesn't mean that those lines are inherently devoid of meaning or difficult to parse.
