kdb+ Learning Curve
December 7th, 2022 by Ryan Hamilton
I present the kdb+ learning curve:
Admittedly it has got a little better in the last ten years:
– Google will return some results that may contain useful solutions
– The documentation online has grown massively. q for mortals, timestored material
– There have been multiple books written
But very little has changed to make the language more friendly.
– There is a debugger but it’s not very user friendly.
– The error messages are still cryptic
Some parts probably can’t be helped…. right-to-left recursion is always going to surprise people but it would be nice to see some attempts.
