Hi everyone! The Shakti k version of Mesh is under development, but for now you can try the JavaScript prototype: http://mesh-spreadsheet.com/ Slides (view in Powerpoint slideshow mode to see the animated GIFs): https:&#x2

Thanks! That's great feedback for next time.

Not dead, just evolving! I hope to bring some of the insights from doing the k version into the free JS version. But even then, the formula language is unlikely to be raw JS - maybe jq, or a k subset. JS, as a moving target, is just too har

Users have strong expectations about what features a "spreadsheet" application should have, so I say it merely "feels like" a spreadsheet to help manage those expectations. For example, in existing spreadsheet programs,

I'm sure they'd be open to discussing that with you! Try Fintan: f@shakti.com

Q/KDB+ for something production ready now. k9 (Shakti) for a simpler product that's in the active language design phase and with not as much integrations - yet. ngn/k for an actively developed version that's free and tar

BTW, a little easter egg that the creators built in: try Ctrl-[ and ] at console.

It's really neat! Note this is k7 - dev has since moved to k9. k7 will be remembered as the 'Unicode symbols' experiment of k; for example nulls were slashed zeroes (Ø) and pi was, well, the pi symbol. k9 dropped them as they

What does this do?

by chrispsn 7y ago
k9 (from Shakti) will have optional word equivalents for some symbols (or at least common compositions) by default. Have you looked at q? numpy has a lot of k/APLish primitives built in. fml was also interesting but never made it past

I started with Python and still miss its lazy generators. K's grain favours calculations that drive down long 'straights' of arrays without many conditional turns, but it's eager-first, which can be a drag for some probl

What would be a more obvious symbol choice for range (aka til or seq)? Pound (#)?

There's a q Mandelbrot here: https://github.com/indiscible/qmandel And Arthur's version in k (also below): http://www.kparc.com/z/comp.k I should convert it to k9 (Shakti)... +&#x2

Arthur tries to choose primitives carefully so that the amount of steps is smaller than other languages (see the 'product' quote in another comment). So even if you give each symbol an English name, the code will often end up sm

It applies element-wise across both arrays. What you're describing is more like an each-right (+/:) or each-left (+\:). 2019-09-25 14:44:44 2core 3gb avx2 © shakti l test v:3 4 v+v 6 8 v+'v 6 8
