Kinda off topic: Those who are interested in modern implementations of APL and similar vector languages are invited to join #kq on Freenode IRC.

We have John Earnest who implemented K5 in Javascript (oK.js) and Kevin Lawler who worked on both Kona (K3) and his new friendlier Kerf.

Some really interesting discussion about array languages has been happening there lately. Join us!

Is this only for theoretical discussions about language design, etc.? Or can we ask dumb questions about how to do simple things in k and q? Not really a fan of Google Groups. It would be great to have an IRC channel for common questions.

We just happen to talk about other implementations due to the Q licensing thing from a few weeks back. Of course we love to help newbies learn the language too. There are some real k/q geniuses in there (I'm not one of them). Come say hi! I'm tlack.

APL, J, and occasionally K conversation also happens on #jsoftware on freenode. Thanks for pointing to #kq, which I didn't know about.
