> Speaking of cultural, the jargon of the language is didactic and annoying. All over the documentation references to monadic or niladic or diadic functions. Also calling things verbs or adverbs or nouns is annoying and unhelpful.
For what it's worth, Kx appears to agree & have been updating their documentation to try & use more "familiar" terminology for these things; monadic/niladic/diadic & noun/verb/adverb are all going away. There'll still be a lot of older stuff scattered around the web with the old terms, but an effort is being made
