K is a proprietary array processing language developed by
Arthur Whitney and commercialized by Kx Systems. The language serves as the foundation for KDB, an in memory, column based
database, and other related financial products. The language, originally developed in 1993, is a variant of
APL and contains elements of
Scheme. Advocates of the language emphasize its speed, facility in handling arrays and its expressive syntax.
