A new runtime for kdb+'s language ships closed-source, benchmark-free, and 'likely AI' (lv1.sh)
The pitch is concrete: run existing k4/q/qSQL unmodified, crunch 86.5M rows on one CPU with 'no decode pass,' compression throughout. For shops reluctantly licensing kdb+ from Kx, an independent compatible runtime is the escape hatch they've long wanted.
The top reply ignored the speed. It flagged the copy, 'the vector as the unit of thought,' as pseudoscientific and 'extremely likely to be AI,' and pointed out l is closed-source with no benchmarks against Shakti or kdb+ itself.
