I want to understand something, why use Spark and DataFusion? As the way to interact with them is SQL. Why not just use traditional DBMS like PostgreSQL? Are there explainer articles on this topic? See Quora: https://www.quora.co

I thought only China has the scale, know-how, and talent to build technologies companies that rival the US. But let's see. M-pesa is an quite interesting tech-ecosystem to have come out of East Africa.

Very interesting. Must be the first time I have seen JDF.jl talked about in a post. I guess the point about confidence being low is correct, since the format is not yet finalized and stable. Also, another point is about how fast things can

hmm, but doesn't it just mean that ppl should extend the same `fit!` method rather the define their own? The bigger issue for production in my experience is about packaging the right model with the right version. I don't think any

did you end up using package compiler as well?

need better basic stuff like pca and glm.

Hmm, reading your comments. I think you have understood how `fit!` works. Each develop will develop their model in their own package. But they just define this fix function. E.g. ``` # in PkgA function fit!(model::ModelTypeA, X, y) # some
