tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
Gotcha!
tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
Thanks. I'm not familiar with dynamic linking. What will that do?
tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
Any specific plans for python support?
tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
Or julia. Which is 1000th better than js
tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
It will eventually, iirc
tadlan··on Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8
Question please: Even though there is stated desire to support python etc vm, this will be hampered by the need for the client to download the large VM vs native code that can be distributed itself, correct?
tadlan··on A better inliner for OCaml, and why it matters
Have you tried dask?
tadlan··on Multidimensional algorithms and iteration in Julia
What about dynd? Iirc doesn't use iteration st all.
tadlan··on Pyjion – A JIT for Python based upon CoreCLR
Woah!!! Cool
tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Make sure you use the devect macro or parallel accelerator if you're going to use vector iced code :)
tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
It's not a would and gpod. Numba works like that right now, has better interoperability with python and less context switching.

Numba is I easily installed on all systems through conda package manager and is easily used with just a function decorator

Seems you are grasping at straws here.

tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Actually, Numba array allocation in nopython mode is allowed now.

What other numerical features are missing?

tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Numba obviate these issues
tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
What would one need to use c or c++ to write a julia package? It's as fast as native code so no need to use multiple languages.
tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Numba would still be faster. It would fuse away any intermediates in the code and remove any Overhead to the compiled code.

also have the option of devecting to loops.

both of which are generally faster than vectorized jumpy code.

tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Numbs compiles entire functions on and allows array expressions with allocation and loop fusion. I don't see the problem
tadlan··on Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement
Use numba to compile python loops or array expressions to fast llvm, and problem solved. I'm sticking with python.
tadlan··on Why Julia's DataFrames Are Still Slow
That's just the data structure. Fitting models would be much tougher.
tadlan··on Julia Computing Granted $600k by Moore Foundation
Will julia ever be popular for general computing and Web stuff? It's s till fast for non scientific use cases, has multi threading (in master) and is getting go like channels.
tadlan··on PyPy 4.0.0 Released – A Jit with SIMD Vectorization and More
Julia!!!!! The answer to all these problems, both for general and science programming.
tadlan··on Comparison – R vs. Python: head to head data analysis
Dask has that, and scikit learn is moving that way also. It even beats spark for out of core work on a single machine
tadlan··on Comparison – R vs. Python: head to head data analysis
There's a dev branch that has been actively developed
tadlan··on Making Cython as easy as Python
Numba has list, Named tuples, and is working on define your own jit classes.
tadlan··on Making Cython as easy as Python
Numba has loop fusion, runtime, and soon multithreading parallel vectorized functions. How is that c like?
tadlan··on All evidence points to OOP being bullshit (2013)
Check out Julia ' s Cxx.jl. it's probably the best c++ FFI in any language. You can even evaluation and call cpp code on the fly from the repl

What was the diet?
tadlan··on Escher – Build beautiful interactive Web UIs in Julia
That is on the roadmap
tadlan··on An Introduction to Statistics with Python
Or use pymc 3 for the bayes equivalent. It's Better anyways. Yes one can also use rpy2. I think glmm is a gsoc project or an upcoming pr but not 100% sure.

What are you implying?

What is second generation numba? And any plans to branch numba out of pure numeric application s?
