I find it rather weird to compare K to C. In what circumstances would the choice be between K and C? A more reasonable comparison would be between say Python with numerical libraries and K.

K&R is a common nickname for the book "The C programming language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, and a reference to the authors:

But TFA is about K.
