Data Science
I’m fascinated by Raku myself.
It didn’t make any sense to me when it was originally announced, it still doesn’t. I don’t understand the project’s goals or how it’s supposed to reach those goals. The mission statement is incomprehensible to me.
Sounds like your project is building arrays in different dimensions and multiplying them.
Maybe give polars and pandas a try.
Definitely check out SciPy
People keep telling me that scrapy is the best for scraping but I haven’t had time to try it yet.
Entirely depends on the project you want to build
Your reply is a lazy and uninformative answer that I’m inclined not to take seriously.
In what ways do you see Julia as better?
Better for what?
This is the biggest factor.
Also Julia’s ecosystem is in infancy in comparison.
90’s? I assumed it was from the 80s or earlier
Maybe someone could modify peertube to be more microblog-like
repl.it is probably an option here.
But I’m curious why you think that programming in a browser is better than running on your own hardware.
Should be Scrimba.com
Languages that caught my attention were Julia, Clojure and Go.
What about these languages caught your attention?
What are some good resources for someone like me who likes to learn by doing things?

This seems to address the criticisms people have with using rust for prototyping. Simplifying the mental model of lifetimes and ownership, incorporating what amounts to a manually called garbage collector, and making the level of compiler enforced strictness flexible for different phases of development all sounds promising. I look forward to what this project develops into and what use of the language reveals about software development.
In that case, why aren’t you using any other editor that can do the same? Why not just use VSCode?
"All punctuation will be considered but avoided where possible because street names and addresses, when stored in databases, must meet the standards set out in BS7666.
“This restricts the use of punctuation marks and special characters (e.g. apostrophes, hyphens and ampersands) to avoid potential problems when searching the databases as these characters have specific meanings in computer systems.”
This seems like a dumb line of reasoning. The problem has never been the signs or punctuation in a database. It’s that the people in charge don’t even know what BS7666 even says.
Do you guys know any cool VMs I can target beside CPython and JVM?
Erlang, Elixir, and Gleam target the BEAM VM.
It’s strange to me people refer to the awk
command rather than the AWK language.
Someone is going to need to pull a lot of weight in planning, organizing, and leading these meetings, presentations, and projects.
I find that unless you communicate the time and financial cost expectations to participate in groups like this, you’ll get a lot of people who are marginally interested and attached to the group and it’s purpose. Which may or may not be important in a successful endeavor.
Discuss the questiona you’ve raised here.
This is a what I mean by someone pulling a lot of weight, a teacher carousel has a slim to none chance of working out. One person is going to need to define and implement the vast majority of the curriculum. They’ll need to do a lot of research and work in advance.
