A while back I was wondering if I could have J-style notation for handling arrays on GPU. This lets me do that, and the Python/Numpy interface is a wonderful bonus. Awesome implementation! A few exploratory questions: 1. I've writ

FWIW I imagine we could have added Django to `python.com` sometime last September, which is when I ported Python 3.11.0rc1 (with threads!) to Cosmopolitan Libc: https://github.com/ahgamut/cpython/tree/cosmo_py

ah, here we are: https://github.com/ahgamut/php-src/tree/cosmo_php81 (note it's an experimental port, I just put it together).

Adding on to jart's answer -- I ported PHP 7.3 back in July 2021 (building on alganet's work), and got up to a simple "hello-world". Have never used PHP, so I didn't know what else could be done with it at the time.

I liked reading the different implementations of the low-level tensor ops (simple C/AVX/AVX2/WASM128bit/ARM-NEON) -- it will help me learn about how to use x86 ASM. Thank you for writing this! Do you have any other recom

There are many wonderful tools that help understand what our code is doing (compiler explorer, gdb, valgrind, ftrace, perf record, strace, ASAN/UBSAN). I wrote this blog post because using the debugging tools with Cosmopolitan Libc hel

You run the executable as usual, and if it crashes, Cosmopolitan Libc's crash handler starts gdb for you with a nice TUI and all the information you need to work with. Probably you could set up a bunch of macros in your editor that do

From TFA, the goal is to "explore whether there's a way we can evolve C++ itself to become 10x simpler, safer, and more toolable". First let's look at "toolable": My big issue with Modern C++ these days is not

Good catch! I updated the post to mention the six operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD).

Nice idea! IIRC redbean has the `LaunchBrowser` function ( https://redbean.dev/2.0.html#LaunchBrowser ) to open the user's default browser, and the `cosmo` module in Python is exactly for providing Cosmopolitan Libc good

Follow the Cosmopolitan Libc project (also consider supporting and/or contributing to it), these things are on track to happen soon :) TLS will probably happen first -- Cosmopolitan already has mbedTLS for redbean, so a modified `_ssl.

I got interested in APEs because I got lost in DLL hell a few times with PyInstaller lol. IMO PyInstaller is pretty cool, but a bit overkill sometimes. At present I find APE Python a perfect match for one big use case (a bunch of my thrown-

I wanted Python to work across at least Windows/Linux because I have a bunch of these tiny scripts that I keep running everywhere. (For example, I always use `python.com -m http.server` when I want to share files in the local network w

Yup, this is one big reason why I wanted Python to be Actually Portable -- I have a bunch of tiny scripts that are slightly complex for sh (some of them were Windows CMD .BAT files lol) which I like to use everywhere. By building Python wit

Cosmopolitan Libc allows you to build programs that run on six operating systems (Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD). I ported Python 2.7.18 and 3.6.14 to build on Cosmopolitan Libc because I wanted to have the same Python execu

Request to change the title to "Python is Actually Portable", as the blog post describes what I did to port Python 2.7/3.6 to Cosmopolitan Libc. Edit: thank you @dang! That was super fast!

Could you provide some papers/link related to Inductive Logic Programming? I'd like to look at other techniques in this space.

You can compile it yourself if you like. I created a fork of the Lua Github mirror and made the necessary changes to compile with Cosmopolitan: https://github.com/ahgamut/lua/tree/cosmopolitan

I'm the author of the blog post! As someone who has never messed around with Libc-level programming, it was surprisingly straightforward (and exciting!) to compile Lua all the way. Cosmopolitan is incredible, thank you so much.
