Thanks! On a side note, do you think that APL-like languages like J or K are less expressive because they don't use the alien symbols?

I'm no expert, but they're all pretty darn expressive.

Personally I'd love to work with Kdb+ as you have a lightning fast database and you typically use the q-language instead of k. Q allows you a lot of the power of both SQL and a general purpose array language.

The dyalog variant of APL does have support for common data formats like CSV & JSON, but I think it's all a lot more natural in Kdb+
