true. only k is faster, easier to learn, and does the trick :)
that said, i hold the view that mastering programming in an ultra-high level language such as APL or k does not absolve a computer programmer from learning lingua franca of our trade, which is due to k&r, will stay around for a very long time, and is called C.
people who don’t know c are ok, only they are not involved in computer programming. their field is known as software development. feel the difference.
i once attempted to convey my own understanding of this divide in a chapter titled “no stinking loops”, which is a nod to Apter’s mandatory nsl.com:

good idea, why not
for a more throw-me-in-the-water introduction, here are my notes on another famous public domain release from atw. some remarks are specific to the codebase, but essentially it is a general introduction to atwc:

and here’s a less involved way to get lit:

What are some alternatives?
