Well, K seems to have already accumulated some users, or at least
customers :) Look at their customer list at http://kx.com .
I bumped into a gentleman at a Microsoft conference on security a couple
of years ago. He was raving about K - he knew the man that created 'K'.
He said it was basically banks and investment people that were into it -
K is so fast you could do realtime stock correlation and so on,
apparently all other languages were too slow - that was his line on it.
We got onto the subject of K after talking about APL being read only -
and he just lit up about K. Which does seem very read only. I have a
vague memory that the creator of K had a hand in APL but that may be my
memory playing tricks on me.
No surprise at them when I visit the website that the list of customers
are all banks, investment houses and so on.
