You can think of it like that. It's a Python -> Machine Code compiler based on LLVM, and it uses Numpy types (and Blaze types) to do type inference on numerical and data transformation functions. http://numba.pydata.org&

Great! While we're at it, though: - The clause "deploying the latest encryption technology" should actually be prefaced by "by", to balance the "by pushing back..." - "We urge the US" could be ma

Doesn't that just make you a browser+web fan, and not a JS fan?

It's very simple - there is no magic here. asm.js is just a "pidgin instruction set architecture", to allow communication between an emerging set of VMs - the browser runtimes - and a compiler backend. (The front-ends are t

Have you actually shipped a complex codebase to the web? There are a TON of major issues which are just as bad: Old problem: Downloading New problem: Downloading. Large JS apps have to asynchronously load potentially very large codebases,

Actual, bokeh is about the quality of the blur. Yes, blur can have quality. If you simply removed everything that was not in focus, you lose context and texture about the subject. If you use a pinhole camera and present everything in sha

You'd have to hire a team of people that can write good K. Since they're so highly in demand in the niche area of finance, you'll be paying a very pretty penny for them.

Perl predates Python by 4 years, which is not a whole lot given they're both 20+ years old now. By "flavor of the moment", I was not referring to Perl, but rather to all the "compiles-to-JS" type stuff. Merely compa

Since you know Matlab and C, I would suggest Python as being a good choice. It's much faster to develop web-oriented things in than C or Perl, and if you ever want to do more computationally intensive things, many people find NumPy an
