I'm surprised you didn't link an actual c file; everything related to k seems to trigger an exorbitantly high number of "what the fuck"s. https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona/blob/master/src/0.c for example.

http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10501320 is one of my favorite articles, though

That article was enough to inspire me to write a K interpreter, and eventually land me a job working with K. If I ever meet Stephen Taylor in person I imagine it'll be an interesting story to tell.

I try to get to most of the Kx Meetups in London.

That's great that your interest produced that result! When I made a K interpreter, Kx threatened to sue me and everyone I had worked for.

That’s likely because yours was fast enough to threaten their sales, whereas RodgerTheGreat’s is JavaScript and can not.

Nick Nickolov’s one also disappeared off GitHub, though Kevin Lawler’s Kona k3 implementation and Andrey Zholos’s jitted weird dialect are fast and still up; also nils holm’s klong.

I was kind of happy to find some java code this time around - who says java needs to be verbose?
