Thanks for that write up. Is there a decent reference or tutorial for ‘k’ online that you would recommend? I would like to learn more about it’s semantics. For

  Not to my knowledge. There are a fair number of documents[1] describing the language to be sure, but it is difficult to divorce K from its implementation(s), so k2, k3, k4, k5 (etc) are all different languages. Your best bet is to download some implementations and try it out. k4 is built-in to kx's q which has a free download[3], just enter a line with a backslash on it to get into k. Views are just a convenient syntax for memoization. Old versions of the value aren't available.

  oK is an implementation of K6 in Javascript. No views, but you can play with it in your browser and the documentation is pretty good. http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/index.html http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/index.html https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Manual.md https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Manual.... https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Programming.md https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/docs/Program...
