Careful with these guys. I once built an open source implementation of the q language, and these guys immediately threatened to sue me, my employer, and our clients. The language is not that interesting, it's easy to reproduce, and these guys will threaten you if you prove this. |

I would say the language is very interesting. It is probably not interesting enough to get sued for, though ....
I suspect times have changed - there are implementations that have been out there for years (https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona implements k3 with sprinkles of k4, and http://althenia.net/kuc implements an almost-k4 with a JIT and writable closures).
IIRC, when you did your implementation it was when k4 was still a "technology preview" and not their main product (or was just released) - I remember understanding the panic in those action, even though I totally disagree with them. (I didn't know about the threats, but I do remember seeing it appear and disappear within a day, and assumed something was happening behind the scenes)
