    Hey physicists generally use k for that integration constant. Or whatever unused letter they feel like.

        It’s also the abbreviation for the Kelvin temperature scale and the atomic symbol for potassium. I’m unaware of a K programming language.

          Then you’re clearly not deep enough into the world of array programming languages. See, K is a programming language that takes many design cues from J, which is in turn based on APL. It’s known primarily for that and for KDB, the database engine written in it.

              I legit use a J interpreter instead of a calculator on my phone. I wrote fizzbuzz a few times - it was hard for me in J, but I’ve done it. K is real but I can’t even write fizzbuzz in it.
