This survey seems to be in relation to the development of a LLM trained to be proficient in Q. Is the idea to create a Kx LLM Product? Why do you think LLMs are so poor at writing Q today? understanding that may help point to the solution.
In regards to getting feedback on features that can help the q experience, we probably need another forum for that. Maybe github discussions could be used so that user requests can be easily tracked and viewed, you can run polls.

In addition to training an LLM on how to write Q queries, it would also be helpful if they were adept at instructing new users on how to setup and configure a typical kdb+ instalment. Tickerplants, RDBs, Intraday writers, HDBs, Gateways etc. For this, I think we would need to first have a slimmed down version of something like Kx Insights with process templates to start with, and a collection of the most common libraries that are easy to load and use. Out of the box. Otherwise, the LLMs will be spending thousands of cycles trying to explain all the code you need to get up and running, which will be a major turn off. Remember that the starting point for a new user is the lonely binary in a zip file, that comes with the personal license. Such a starter system would help improve the q experience greatly. Today, I point new users to the open source TorQ system by DataIntellect. Without this, I think many wouldn’t have a clue where to start. But we need more open source projects like this to encourage usage. All users desire to take the minimum number of actions. I’d suggest starting by counting how many steps a user needs to take to setup a tickerplant, intraday writer, intraday hdb, gateway etc. Then ask how it can all be streamlined.
