        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.
