I wonder what the relative performance of the two snippets (Klong and Python) is.
Not at a computer now, can't check.
im not sure about about klong as it is a hobby project but official veriants of k and q(the wordified k that is somewhat popular in finance) are supposedly quite fast. In the world of industry that is actually these languages main claim to the niche fame they do have.

thanks. i had tried out q for a few days, some years ago. yes, I had read that they are supposed to be fast.
You just go right to left. 1/2 applied to x^ so x^(0.5), _ is floor so floor of x^0.5. ! creates an array of numbers up until floor of x^0.5. 2+ just adds 2 to every number, and then I lost interest in learning the rest lol.
Yeah I like the python equivalent def is_prime(x): return x > 1 and all(x % i != 0 for i in range(2, x))
