I too like K better but it is nice to see another APL implementation and a free one at that. Also note that dyalog has made their commercial APL available on the RaspberryPi.
The open source "kona" is close to K version3 (no longer available from kx.com as they have moved on to Q, another very powerful array / database language). So far kona is only 7.2K lines of C code though admittedly very dense code (it is sort of like writing K in C!).
- beagle3 13y agoYou are probably aware, but just in case: K (v4) is underlying Q. You can get to it by typing a single backslash followed by enter (or alternatively, prefixing a line with "k)", or loading a script that has the .k extension) K (v5) is shaping up here http://kparc.com/ http://kparc.com/ . Still early, but it looks like if Arthur Whitney ran the STEPS project, it would be closer to 2,000 lines, than to 20,000 ...
- gruseom 13y agoK (v5) is shaping up here http://kparc.com/ http://kparc.com/ Holy cow! I am floored that they are doing that. That is a hugely ambitious departure from the high-end enterprise niche they've always been limited to. How exciting. Please tell me this is all open source?
- doublec 13y agoThere's some discussion on it from /r/apljk a year ago which stated that it was a research project: http://www.reddit.com/r/apljk/comments/xktud http://www.reddit.com/r/apljk/comments/xktud
