I have an insane amount of respect (almost reverence?) for the kdb devs i work with, they are truly from another dimension and the machine doesn't run without themhttps://twitter.com/mycoliza/status/1397700583797055491 …
![screenshot of an absolutely incomprehensible example program in the K programming language:
Let’s use k9 to generate a set of random quotes for a particular day and symbol.
qs:`date`sym`time`exch`bid`ask / quote table schema
nf:d+*|d:(|-d),d:683 954 997 1000; / normal func
D:#[;2021.03.17] / date
S:#[;`eurusd] / symbol
T:^?[;_8.64e7]@ / time in number of milliseconds
E:?[;"ce"] / exchange
B:11904++\-3+nf bin/:?[;*|nf]@ / bid price, start at 12415
P:?[;2,2,8#1]@ / bid/ask spread
Q:{+qs!((D;S;T;E)@'x),(*;+/)@\:(B;P)@'x} / generator quote table
q:Q@_1e8;10#q
