Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. K is a
proprietary array processing language developed by Arthur Whitney and
commercialized by Kx Systems. The language serves as the foundation for
kdb, an in- memory, column-based database, and other related financial
products. The language, originally developed in 1993, is a variant of
APL and contains elements of Scheme. Advocates of the language emphasize
its speed, facility in handling arrays and its expressive syntax.
