I remember a discussion on HN on this language like a year ago or so. In the end what I got was some extremely weird snippets for very specific little quizzes that someone claimed were faster than with other languages, the argument that "it's shorter" and "but I can work with it".

So yeah, if you like it, I get it, go enjoy it. But this smugness of "it's actually better and I'm better for knowing it", it irks me. One of the most important aspects of programming languages is that they need to be used, and K is the single hardest language that I've tried to understand, even with documentation on the other screen and reading just short snippets. A language that people will ignore because they don't even know where to start reading is not that good of a language.
