The big banks don't write code in K4 though, managers generally encourage people not to write code in it due to the difficulty of finding developers who are fluent in it.
They all use q and q is very wordy and highly readable if you speak english. It's mostly just developer defined functions which are compositions of the keywords of which there are not many: https://code.kx.com/q/ref/#keywords
Most of the code you would see in a kdb+ system in an investment bank won't look like any of the links you've provided.
Do you have any suggestions for q code to look at? Every time I try array languages I bounce off the ubercompact and I feel like there's actually a chance I could learn something more q like.
I have a copy of Fun Q sitting in the tsundoku pile on my desk that seems pretty good from a quick flick through.
