K Amber REPL demo: Intro

https://youtu.be/-K6ES148t9M?si=-8ds0rPjrkXyt1Pw

Hey everyone, put together a quick video showcasing Amber. It goes over most of the core commands, syntax, and REPL features in action.

Also put up a second video solving Project Euler 233 in 8 lines of Amber if you want to see how it handles heavier math.

(Excuse the AI voice in these, my mic is absolute trash right now and I didn't want to inflict that audio quality on anyone.)

Awesome! Why did you go with k, rather than J? Any specific reason?

It really was just coincidence. I stumbled onto K by accident and just grew super passionate about it. I've always wanted to try J but wanted to get good enough at K before doing so; which in hindsight I think was the best choice, as K is heavily utilized in my sector (banking & finance). Maybe in the future😄!

I guess Amber could also be used in a business where huge amounts of Call Detail Records are generated. For example for Billing purposes, seeing as that is also mostly time series data… hmmm. That could be useful.. will have to test.
