Well, yes, there's other languages like Julia, MATLAB and such if you want familiar, approachable syntax for array programming. Nial (https://nial-array-language.org/), which is inspired by APL, mostly uses words instead of symbols, which you may find more intuitive.

In K, terseness is part of the package, and it is considered good, because you can see the innards of your code at a glance, there's lesser text to change if you mess up, so on, so forth. Some time investment in the language may or may not help with this.
