Don't get me wrong: K is powerful, and I like how it works.  (I am
especially fond of transitive closure in the context / and \ ).

But getting a copy of K for non-commercial use is a pain.  I certainly am
not going to pay commercial use fees for non-commercial use, and I do not
like dealing with programs that expire.  Given my use patterns, I would
expect that I would need a couple years of casual use (not every day)
before I achieved any fluency in the language.  And the last time I
installed a copy it stopped working every time I came back to it after few
hours (requiring a restart and a loss of everything I had done to that
point) and stopped working entirely after about a month (requiring an
uninstall).

So... the language is hostile to me using it.
