What Hacker News says
4 sourcesIt's interesting to compare that version from 2017 with the current version from 2025: https://github.com/KxSystems/javakdb/blob/9a94dc5af9288fe845... — the current one is over ten times as long in terms of number of lines, and has copious comments, but still has the short names and dense code.
In Learning to read Arthur Whitney's C to become smart (2024)there's the java version too

In Learning to read Arthur Whitney's C to become smart (2024)Author has a page [1] listing a few diff implementations of "K" [2]:
* A proprietary array processing language
* A variant of APL with elements of Scheme
* K serves as the foundation for kdb+, an in-memory, column-based database
* Advocates of the language emphasize its speed, facility in handling arrays, and expressive syntax.
