  • Python Success Stories

    ...format", used back then to describe the newer style of token-oriented syntax in Pascal and C, has almost been forgotten; all languages have been designed that way for decades now. Or almost all, anyway. It's hard to blame anyone, on seeing this Python feature, for initially reacting as though they had unexpectedly stepped in a steaming pile of dinosaur dung. That's certainly how I felt. I skimmed through the rest of the language description without much interest. I didn't see much else to r...

As a result, the service developer only needs to think about the business logic in the service methods and can rely on the server to automatically provide database connection pooling, protocol handling, transaction control, and all the complicated interactions that are needed to make a server side implementation robust. Client-Side Bliss Another design goal for the system was to simplify client...

    ...function A at the top of the file intermingled with four changes to function Z at the bottom of the file. Now the programmer discovers that function A should never have changed; selective undo allows changes to function A to be rolled back without affecting the changes to function Z. Global undo is similar to what version control provides, where system level changes can be tagged and rolled back when they adversely affect the system. Where global undo differs however is that no a-priori d...

Since more of it is written in Python, it is an order of magnitude slower for smaller arrays (but just as fast or faster for large arrays (> 1MB)). Optimization is in our plans, but won't be done until we fill out the libraries and finish the safety issue (which is near completion). Becau...

About half of all US households already own at least one personal computer, and this number is still growing. However, while many people nowadays use a computer, few of them are computer programmers. Non-programmers aren't really "empowered" in their computer use: they are confined to using applications in ways that programmers have determ...
