Bah!  K is where it's at for write-only code....

For a comment that exactly explains why I won't be using K ever, peer at

If you don't want to look at the site (it can be a bit brain-damaging),
here's a small example of K in action.  This one tests for primality.

isprime:{&/x!/:2_!x}

In its favour is brevity.  K programs are astonishingly small.  Hence
the K style of just rewriting a program if you can't figure it out from
reading it.

I am not making this up.
