Julia programming language from MIT

Is Julia the next big programming language? MIT thinks so, as version 1.0 lands - TechRepublic

"Julia, the MIT-created programming language for developers "who want it all", hit its milestone 1.0 release

Released in 2012, Julia is designed to combine the speed of C with the usability of Python, the dynamism of Ruby, the mathematical prowess of MatLab, and the statistical chops of R.

"The release of Julia 1.0 signals that Julia is now ready to change the technical world by combining the high-level productivity and ease of use of Python and R with the lightning-fast speed of C++," says MIT professor Alan Edelman."

Google Codelabs


Google: Take our free Kotlin programming language courses to build Android apps | ZDNet

"Since last year, Google has been working with online developer education company Udacity to provide free lessons and has now packaged them as 'codelab courses that are formatted like tutorials'.

The courses are aimed at developers who have some experience in programming object-oriented, statically typed languages like Java or C# and who've used IDEs such as JetBrains' IntelliJ IDEA, Android Studio, Eclipse, or Microsoft's Visual Studio. Students will need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) and IntelliJ.

Google promotes Kotlin as a "concise" and "modern object-oriented language [that] offers a strong type system, type inference, null safety, properties, lambdas, extensions, coroutines, higher-order functions".

Flying "Cars": Kitty Hawk

Inspirational interviews with Sebastian Thrun,
Stanford professor of AI,
who lead the team that won first DARPA self driving vehicles challenge,
Google director of research who started self-driving project there.
Online teacher of first MOOC (online class) attended with 120 000 people (me included :)
Co-founder of Udacity online university
where he is teaching self-driving car class (that I also attended).

Now, Sebastian is taking self-driving technology to the air,
and with support of Larry Page (Google co-founder and Alphabet CEO)
they already have working platform, see video below.

mal - Make a Lisp, in 80 prog. languages

kanaka/mal: mal - Make a Lisp @GitHub

1. Mal is a Clojure inspired Lisp interpreter

2. Mal is implemented in 79 languages (81 different implementations and 102 runtime modes)

mal/guide.md at master · kanaka/mal

"The goal of the Make-A-Lisp project is to make it easy to write your own Lisp interpreter without sacrificing those many "Aha!" moments that come from ascending the McCarthy mountain. When you reach the peak of this particular mountain, you will have an interpreter for the mal Lisp language that is powerful enough to be self-hosting, meaning it will be able to run a mal interpreter written in mal itself."

...entry-level banker or trader it used to be the case that you had to know all about financial modelling in Excel. Not any more. These days it's all about Python, especially on the trading floor.

"Python already replaced Excel," said Matthew Hampson, deputy chief digital officer at Nomura, speaking at last Friday's Quant Conference in London. "You can already walk across the trading floor and see people writing Python code...it will become much more common in the next three to four years."
