OK: An implementation of the K5 programming language

Fun for interview questions: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/blob/gh-pages/examples/str...

Contrast with "An implementation of the K5 interpreter."

Or maybe others see them as one in the same?

Of course from a performance and aesthetic perspective there is a world of difference between node.js and the tiny q/k interpreter from kx systems.

On the other hand, the author's "Forth interpeter" in PostScript (Four.PS) is, at least from a reading standpoint, a thing of beauty. IMHO.

Rightly or wrongly, I think of the PostScript interpreter as Forth-like, so I might be tempted to call Four.PS an implementation of the "Forth language", i.e., a small part of it.

Damit! Piped at the post with the name. (I had a working title of 'ohk' of my own k5 impl (based of rob pike's ivy) although like most things I do will probably never see the light of day.

A js implementation! This is something I can't wait to play with! Thanks!

Really interesting.

This could even be implemented as a require() provider so that you could mix K and JavaScript in your Node app.

Is there somewhere to follow along with the development of K5?

Hi, I really like that you use Whitney's style in your javascript! This is a good tribute to this great programmer.

kuro5hin is already in Perl :)

This looks great. Going to play with this later.

That is the most beautiful javascript code I have ever seen.
