Came here excited to see an operational spreadsheet program on Shakti ( https://shakti.org.in/ ) :)

More excited to discover ShaktiDB!

Curious to know how this relates to kona! [ https://github.com/kevinlawler/kona ]

It's an evolution of the same language: K3 = K (Kx) / Kona (Kevin Lawler open source), K4 = Q (in the current Kx KDB), K7 = Shakti (Arthur Whitney's most recent project),

Actually, shakti is now k9 (it was originally k7 but k7 is now abandoned)

Any info on K5-K8? All I want is lexical scoping, will I get it in k9?
