Ngn/k (free K implementation)
I can offer you the contrary opinion: why I would not use these kind of languages.
A couple of years ago I worked on a non-trivial APL application with one of my university professors and another student. We were trying to build a CPU simulator flexible enough to handle stuff ranging from PDP-11 up to Intel x86. The goal was to run some analysis on memory accesses performed by the x86 architecture. Quite an interesting project in which I worked on for around two year.
The code is still available if you're interested: https://github.com/emlautarom1/PDP_11_Simulator
The first implementation was done in APL using a book which I don't remember as reference. We had a couple of meetings where we learned APL and the general idea behind the design. Pretty soon we started to deal with a lot of issues like:
- We only found two implementations for the APL interpreter: GNU and Dyalog. GNU is free but pretty much abandoned. Support for Windows was (is?) nonexistent. Dyalogs version is proprietary so we couldn't use that (even when a "student" version was available).

Konna, my programming language
At first, I thought you were going to be talking about Kona which is another language. You may wish to consider a more unique name, though Kona isn't super well known.

Here's how 2 lines of APL code checked & fixed 1h of maths calculations on paper.
For anyone interested in using a language like APL that doesn't require special symbols, I'd recommend K. You can try it out using Kona.

Some thoughts on APLs (real or imagined) beauty, and the value of very concise languages (Twitter thread)
There are some open source implementations of J and K that you might enjoy.
