I really like the K language after reading through the ok tutorial listed below.
I just wish there was a free and open source K engine written in C that would work on Windows or Linux. I've tried J, but I think I like K much better. Ok and Kona don't seem to be production worthy (performance or correctness I would guess). I like the concept of a tiny interpreter though with no install (kinda what Kona has for Windows, but better supported).
- kick 7y agoThere's an AGPL k that works on Linux (ngn's), but not one that works on Windows. "Production-ready" is a misnomer for this, though; if you want production-ready k, just buy it from atw.
- 7thaccount 7y agoI can't afford it and it's not mainstream enough for my industry (extremely conservative) to try out.
- RodgerTheGreat 7y agoAt the end of the day, that's the immovable object. A free, open-source, high-performance interpreter for K would get cease-and-desist-ed into oblivion by virtue of competing with the commercial implementation. That's why I made mine a toy: fun to tinker with, but not fast enough to give anybody ideas. Kinda sucks, huh?
- kick 7y agoHave you seen ngn/k? It was released under the AGPL recently, and is pretty fast.
- 7thaccount 7y agoI just looked at it quickly and it appears to be more than a toy. How about Windows support? File I/O?
