So 1010data's purpose is to sell analytics tools to kdb+ users? Does kdb+ not come with a simple way to pipe output to a chart? For the price, I'd hope they had something more than a REPL.

1010data's analytics tools and database are entirely their own product, developed separately from kdb+. While these are implemented in K (K3, which precedes kdb+/q/K4), the end users are not K programmers any more than WordPress users are PHP programmers.
