Python and Julia Why do we need another language?
Dwight J. Browne PyGotham 2014 Twi>er: @dwightb2 GitHub: h>ps://github.com/dbrowne/PresentaGons
History • Slow computers required efficient languages •
FORTRAN, C • Required efficient and diligent coding • strncpy(tooSmall,tooBig,sizeof(tooBig) = The olden days: The Honeymooners -‐ Oprah
More History • Compressed delivery Gme • Enterprise
apps bloat • C#, Java, Perl • *nix or Win • Computers kept ge_ng faster Seinfeld, Friends
A Brief Diversion
The Dark Ages Reality TV • GOOD
ENOUGH
Some Problems • Big applicaGons • Complex dependencies
• Cut and paste code • Technical debt 500 Channels and Nothing to Watch
The Big Problem The Notorious E.C.L.E • E.C.L.E.
-‐ Edit Compile Link Execute • More data. Finite Gme • Processing speeds are increasing slowly • Need a be>er way
The Need For Speed Fast and Furious •
High performance = C or FORTRAN • Using BLAS, LAPACK = FORTRAN • SGll hindered by E.C.L.E. • A use case for a dynamic language
Python The Sopranos and Breaking Bad •
MulG Paradigm • REPL and IPython save person years • Less TIMTOWDI = Less wasted Gme • Slowness will be forgiven for fast delivery • But not always
Julia Julia? Where did this come from?
• Fast C like performance • Incredibly young language = Immature library base • C interoperability = Python interoperability • MulGple dispatch • Focus on methods not methods of classes
But How Fast is It? Professional driver on closed
course
It’s Really That Fast? Your mileage may vary
What is this Witchcrah? How does it work?
• Python PyObject: • object.h, methodobject.h • descrobject.h • Julia PyObject: • PyCall.jl, pytype.jl • PyPlot.jl for Matplotlib • ccall to call external C libraries
Julia PyObject
IPython and Julia Yes. You can have your cake
and eat it too! • Ijulia/src/msg.jl • IPython/kernel/zmqIPython/kernel/zmq/session.py
That’s All Folks!
Is that it? DemonstraGon
