As an intermediate developer who finds all the configuration and overhead a little overwhelming, this was both helpful and validating. Thank you!
I thougt marimo was zoro from one piece😅 Good presentation btw
How did Python get its name "Python"? I guess I could duckduckgo an answer.
Python, the popular programming language, got its name from the British comedy troupe “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, was a fan of the TV show and wanted a short, unique, and slightly mysterious name for his language. Initially, van Rossum considered naming the language “Camel”, but decided against it due to its difficulty in pronunciation and spelling. He also considered “Humpy” and “Fluffy” but ultimately chose “Python” because it had the right balance of fun and professionalism. The name “Python” was chosen to honor Monty Python’s Flying Circus, a BBC comedy series popular in the 1970s. The show was known for its absurdist and surrealist humor, which resonated with van Rossum’s sense of humor. In an interview, van Rossum explained that he wanted a name that was “fun, yet professional” and that “Python” fit the bill. He also mentioned that he was inspired by the show’s absurdity and playfulness, which he aimed to incorporate into the language’s design. And so, Python, the programming language, was born, named after the iconic British comedy troupe that brought laughter and joy to many. 😆
Basic is too, well, basic in describing Monty Python comedy 😆
"writing my own wasm interpreter in python" is a bit of a menacing statement And it ended in absolutely best way it could 😂😅
Marimo is really cool. I might try using it.
I started learning programming in 1974 and made a career out of it for 30+ years. To this day, I still do SOME scientific and engineering and other graphics programming in BASIC for one reason and one reason only. BASIC has by far, by far, THE simplest way of doing quality graphics. In one line: SCREEN 21 : REM gives me a 1280 X 1024 16 colour blank page. On that page, I can then do: PSET (ix, iy, ic) : REM set pixel at (ix, iy) to colour ic. LINE (ix1, iy1) - (ix2, iy2), ic : draw a line of colour ic between those two pairs of coordinates. LINE (somewhat paradoxically) can also do boxes. There is also CIRCLE which can do line circles, solid circles, ellipses and arcs. If I want to do text over the top of that, I have LOCATE (iy, ix) : and then PRINT USING which has almost (OK, not quite) the power and flexibility of any printf that I would do in C. And with 30 lines and 80 columns, I have never had problems positioning text exactly where I want it. I have never seen any C or any other high level language compiler suitable for scientific programming that allows that level of functionality and that level of simplicitiy. All in a compiled language that I have known for over 40 years and is free. And which converts pseudocode with barely a touch after copy and paste. What can surpass all of that? As to "But BASIC has GOTO". Have you been living under a rock since last century (which alarmingly now is almost 1/4 century ago)?? BASIC has all of the structures that anyone who does scientific or engineering programming could ever need. I havent used a goto since .... oooh ... at least last century. The Internet has porn and all sorts of vile things. Does that mean you should not use the Internet?
Great presentation; have been getting into marimo more and more as of late; love to see open-source projects grow and get recognition they deserve! Hope to see them progress in the future!
that's comedy gold
Succinct, yet comprehensive summary of project setup. 😑 TIL coverage_enable_subprocess !
easy! :)
Aww wish he had more time.. my first thought was why SNEK when MicroPython exists , yet that's explained on the website keithp.com/snek/snek.html
Great work Jay! Awesome talk.
if any of you are interested in the APL video and lazy to type it in , here's the link kzread.info/dash/bejne/dqGImpKIo8ind9Y.html
