This will be a short introduction to Q, a functional / array / term-rewriting language used in the kdb+ database, whose paradigm is largely influenced by APL. People who already use Q or are planning to use it are welcome to join this dedicated Meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/kx-hkg/
After the talk and Q&A, people who follow the FP-related Coursera/edX courses can raise any questions about concepts or exercises they would like to discuss.
Speaker: Kim Tang

Room 3.08, Chow Yei Ching Building, The University of Hong Kong

How to get to HKU: walk from Sheung Wan MTR, take a tram (and walk from the terminus) or take one of the buses:

Thanks to Kim for presenting and to Tomas for organizing - some good food for thought!

The 32bit version is free for commercial use and is not open source. And what could be interesting about that? The k binary weights about 50Kb and the source is 264 lines of C (that was 2011). Arthur managed his source code in five files so that he could edit any of them without scrolling. He hate scrolling :-)

Personally wouldn't use any non-OSS language unless there is no other choices. Then I give this a pass for now.

We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
