- *R and Python for regression*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By: Jerry Dumblauskas
Let's compare our favorite language to an 'upstart' highly focused
statistical language.
- *QML vs. Python*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By: Patrick K. O'Brien
If you think Python is Pythonic, wait until you see QML from the point
of view of an experienced Python developer. QML is the Qt Meta Language or
Qt Modeling Language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QML
- *Conway's Game of Life: Programming in a non-language*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By:
The Game of Life is Turing Complete. That means it can (theoretically)
calculate anything that any computer can calculate. What does this mean in
practice and how can you program a calculation when the total syntax is
just flipping cells in a 2D bit field?
- *Swift*
By: Feihong Hsu
- *as former C# developer the lessons I learned to become pythonic *
By: JC LatinoTV
language comparison in 5 minutes
- *Go: Concurrency is Built In*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By: Chris Foresman
Discussing the pros and cons of Golang from a Python user's perspective,
particularly focusing on its built-in support for concurrency and the
advantages over asyncio.
- *Erlang*
By: Garrett Smith
ULS Erlang entry
- *Postscript. Yes, it's a programming language*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By: Ken Schutte
I'll describe Postscript - a interpreted, stack-based "page description
language" used to produce vector graphics and documents.
- *Is True true? : A mini-venture into Python & Ruby truth testing*
(0:05:00 Minutes)
By: Lorena Nicole
Review of truth testing in Python and Ruby. If "Explicit is better than
Implicit" then why does Python decide that values like empty sequences are
"falsey"? How is it that Ruby only defines false and nil as false values,
isn't this more explicit? Highlight how languages embed their own
philosophies of what is correct and true with surprising overlaps and at
times odd contradictions.
