It's very cool to see ngn/k on the HN front page.

After the recent AoC which I've attempted to solve with BQN[1] (another array language) I've got interested in array languages and now exploring K too.

K seems like a nice blend between an array language and a lisp: list is a primary data structure in K, no multidimensional data. K is good at symbolic workloads as well — visit http://nsl.com for some examples.

Also, make sure to check out the C code style ngn/k is written with :-) another K implementation Kona (uses similar C code style) has a wiki page with explanation[2].
