Description
Mojo is the latest language from the creator of Swift and LLVM. It's an attempt to take some of the best techniques from CPU/GPU-level programming and package them up in a Python-compatible syntax.
In this episode we explore why Mojo was created, and what it offers to Python programmers and non-Python programmers alike. How is it built for performance, and which performance features matter? What's its take on functional programming and type systems? And can it marry the high-level programming of Python with the low-level programming of LLVM/MLIR?
If you're a Python programmer who needs better performance, a C programmer who expects more from a 'scripting language', or just someone who'd be happier if Python had a first-class type system, Mojo might well be for you…

The actor model is a popular approach to building scalable software systems. And isn't hard to understand when you're just reading about the beginner's examples. But how do you architect a complex design using the actor model? Which patterns work well? How do you think through it?

Bytewax is a curious stream processing tool that blends a Python surface with a Rust core to produce something that's in a similar vein to Kafka Streams or Apache Flink, but with a fundamentally different implementation. This week we're going to take a look at what it does, how it works in...
