Hello everyone!

I'm very new to the world of K, Kona, and the APL family more generally. I'm looking for a language that would be convenient to work in on my phone. The APL family seems to be a good fit because the low character count of programs seems like it would make programs fast to type and easy to read (as many programs would fit on a single screen).

I really like the look of Kona in particular and am wanting to run it in Termux on Android. I tried building it in Termux but was not successful as `arm-linux-androideabi-gcc` isn't available in Termux (as far as I can tell). Compiling C code is outside my wheelhouse, unfortunately.

Has anyone managed to get Kona running in Termux or has an idea of how to do it?

Hi Adam,

On Termux:

pkg install kona

should have you up and running (the executable is simply named "k").

HTH HAND.

Oh sheesh. Pretty obvious oversight on my part. Thanks for sorting me out, Alexander!

Too bad something similar is not available for iPhones.

This survey of K implementations mentions which have online versions and where to find them.
