|8:13|  Dexter MngDir Lehman . Board Mem :
 would have Killed for Kx to prototype Fin behaveior . K is so compact & so
 fast . Play around w idea . Better than spread sheet - Real Language .
 Language fasinating . size fasinating . can download & start in less time
 than boot .
 KDB : Multidimensional Bond Index  - different lengths , dif periodicities
  gaps in data . Lots of time series - but hard to find prod that does both
  dimensions well .
|8:18| Mike : Proceedural structured OO programmer . Used K 3 yrs in 3
 products . Changes scope of problem I would undertake in a given timeframe .
 Basic Idea : Connectivity - scalability .
 BlackDermToy Option calsulator  ,
 can do large scale systems , alone , in weeks or months .
 Compact Code - Data = Objects = GUI . Auto mem mngt .
 system fn - _binl : BinaryListSort . in lin interp of lists (x;y) at points t
 Lot of people put off by math language -- not so bad if what you are doing
 is implementing Mathmatics .
 Data Oriented : Dependencies & Triggers . simple InterProcessCommunications .
 Swap..d:"Pary+Spread"
 Faster than compiled C/C++ . Caus tuned bulk primitives on efficient Data
  model . Lot of smart simple things going on at low levels . No Software
  layers . 1 efficient thread w/i process .
  Built for Big/Complex Problems .
  Allocation  :  1000 x 1000  13870 vs 32486  | ms for C .
  Connects to C/C++ Java , VisualBasic & Excel  -  k.dll .
    ObjectBrokers = MarketData ( Triarch ) (?)
  30 yr montly Yield curve mngr .
   ? : secant search in mbd of soln .
