Comment on K: We need to talk about groupparent

Comments

Most of the time when you open a PL article on Wikipedia you're greeted with a Hello World example, but here you get this:

"""

[...] As a result, K expressions can be opaque and difficult to parse for humans. For example, in the following contrived expression the exclamation point ! refers to three distinct functions:

    2!!7!4
Reading from right to left the first ! is modulo division that is performed on 7 and 4 resulting in 3. The next ! is enumeration and lists the integers less than 3, resulting in the list 0 1 2. The final ! is rotation where the list on the right is rotated two times to the left producing the final result of 2 0 1.
