CoSy K.CoSy $30 % yr sub K.CoSy is a general purpose computing and programming environment constructed, all in open code, in Arthur Whitney's very high level, yet structurally transparent Array Programming Language, K , and its tightly coupled GUI. K.CoSy is an extremely productive environment in one of the most powerful and fastest of APL's progeny, and therefore, likewise, of all languages. K.CoSy provides a workspace-like interactive development environment previously impossible in K. Because of its unique open construction within the language itself, this environment is clearly competitive in a large domain with the APLs from the other vendors, for just a token cost. K.CoSy notepad nature, interactivity, and open K code vocabulary make learning Arthur Whitney's K far less daunting and far more productive that its raw console, or any external scripting method. K.CoSy being young and developing open code, lends itself to offer by subscription. Charter subscriptions are just $30 (half that for students ) . ( Requires separate download of K from Kx.com . )
