I have not implemented k5's kdb features. Currently I don't see them as a high priority, and there isn't exactly abundant information available. There is still quite a bit of work to do on core language features like dmend, curried adverbs and support for date/time types.
I think that's a wise decision.. for now at least! Leave it to secondary implementors.
But: I believe this is just table definition syntax. Surely this, being just a list of dictionaries (flipped) would be handy to use for all manner of operations?
As I've come to internalize table syntax, I find it to be a natural way to represent a surprising amount of things.
So: I agree, don't bother with select. But perhaps this specific lexer trick might be worthwhile.
Just a thought! Thanks again for your tireless work on this badboy.
Not sure if this is true but it was stated on #kq that "[a:...;b:...] in k5 is dictionary syntax" so I would venture to say that's a core language feature.
Hasty reply: the dictionary syntax works, it's the monadic + that fails. My apologies.
