My take: I don't think this is an issue. "What it is" is a sandbox for graphical K programs, which is already provided in the title. Given that K is already rather niche, and sandboxes are meant for playing with rather than general use programming, it seems like this toy isn't targeted towards a general audience and has no obligation to explain itself further than "K in your browser".

A web search for a niche technology with a single-letter name is often near useless.

The Wikipedia page, multiple pages related to the language, etc. all show up.

There's a few unrelated items, but those should all be apparent after a second of reading.

But in that search query you added "language". When I see K, I think of the K framework first: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=k+framework

Someone who doesn't know either wouldn't be helped by searching for just "K".

And apple is a horrible name for a computer because you may find fruit, amazon fire will give you trees in flames, and word, office, windows... It is difficult to find things when you do not know what you are searching for.

Right. That's why the title should say "K language" rather than just "K". To provide the context needed here.
