The newly unveiled Mojo language is being promoted as the best of multiple worlds: the ease of use and clear syntax of Python, with the speed and memory safety of Rust.
Those are bold claims, and since Mojo is still in the very early stages of development, it will be some time before users can see for themselves how the language lives up to them. But Mojo's originator—a company named Modular—has provided early access to an online playground: a Jupyter Notebook environment where users can run Mojo code and learn about the language's features and behavior.
Because Mojo isn't available yet as an end-user download, this first look focuses on what Mojo is like as a language. We'll examine how it resembles Python, how it's different, and what it has to offer for a programmer familiar with Python or other languages.

There are many ways to go about programming. One of the most productive paradigms is interactive: You use a REPL (read-eval-print loop) to write and test your code as you code, and then copy the tested code into a file.
The REPL method, which originated in LISP development environments, is well-suited to Python programming, as Python has always had good interactive development tools. The drawback of this style of programming is that once you’ve written the code you have to separately pull out the tests and write the documentation, save all that to a repository, do your packaging, and publish your package and documentation.
Donald Knuth’s literate programming paradigm prescribes writing the documentation and code in the same document, with the documentation aimed at humans interspersed with the code intended for the computer. Literate programming has been used widely for scientific programming and data science, often using notebook environments, such as Jupyter Notebooks, Jupyter Lab, Visual Studio Code, and PyCharm. One issue with notebooks is that they sometimes don’t play well with repositories because they save too much information, including metadata that doesn’t matter to anyone. That creates a problem when there are merge conflicts, as notebooks are cell-oriented and source code repositories such as Git are line-oriented.

nbdev v2 review: Git-friendly Jupyter Notebooks

Tired of having your Python projects littered with .pyc cache files and __pycache__ directories? This video teaches you about a little-used but powerful Python feature that lets you keep all your Python cache files in a single directory, away from your project directories and under central control.

How to tame your Python cache files and directories

The Codon project offers a highly Python-compatible language, built from the ground up, that compiles to native machine code for speed. It's not a drop-in replacement for Python, but it promises some significant speedups for math-and-stats applications. Could Codon's approach be how Python gets faster in general? Or is Codon more of a complement to the existing Python ecosystem rather than a long-term replacement? Watch and learn more.

API on the fly? The talk is about autogenerating APIs using "Amsterdam
Schema". Jan works for datapunt Amsterdam, a
project for being transparant as the city of Amsterdam. Your citizens pay
taxes, so they have a right to access the open data that the municipality
maintains.
They have api projects for many datasets. Like "BAG", the official building
database. Or a list of the power sockets for the weekly markets. Lots of
geographical information.

You might get the question "why do you use python, isn't that a slow

How python is designed
Python is dynamically typed instead of statically typed. This makes it
easier for humans to understand and quicker. It makes sure you don't have to

Python is interpreted instead of compiled. If you compile code, it turns

double work.
In a compiled language, variables are stored in a fixed location in
memory. If you give a variable a new value, that new value is stored in the
same memory location. In python, everything is stored as a PyObject with
a type
the value
a reference count
If you assign a new value to a variable name, a new PyObject is created. This
can have a different "type". The old PyObject isn't referenced anymore, so the
reference count is set to zero. It can then be garbage collected.
Python has to do more work, so it is less efficient than a compiled
language. Creating PyObjects and names. It also takes quite some more memory
due to the PyObject "wrapper".
The notorious GIL is the Global Interpreter Lock. It ensures thread safe
memory access: only one thread executes byte code at the same time. This is
especially needed to keep the reference count accurate.
GIL has an exception for I/O: that can happen concurrently. It is the CPU that
governed by the GIL.
How can we mitigate bottlenecks, how to speed things up
Important to keep in mind: python needs to work a bit harder to enable us to
do less work: performance versus productivity. Some generic comments:
If you have a lot of I/O: threads. A lot of CPU: multiprocessing.
Watch out with loops where lots of PyObjects need to be created.
Use built-ins as much as possible. List comprehensions instead of a loop, for
instance.
The same with numpy and pandas built-ins. Applying a lambda to all elements
is waaaaaay slower than applying the function to the whole numpy array at
the same time where it happens effectively inside numpy.
If a specific small piece of code is slow, you can try extending
python. "pyx", compiled python code. cy_types is compiled python with
extra type hints. You can also go to c or rust code.
Numba, dask, ray, pypy are alternatives you can look at.

<p>You might need files for testing. Real test files are perhaps not available
when you need it. Synthetic data might just do fine for most use-cases. Real
data might not even be allowed due to privacy concerns, for instance.</p>
<p>You could use <a class="reference external" href="https://faker.readthedocs.io/">Faker</a> to generate fake names
and adresses and so for your test. You have control over what you
generate. <tt class="docutils literal">faker.zip_code()</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">faker.company_email()</tt>. Faker helps when
you need to generate separate fields.</p>
<p>But sometime you need actual files. For that you can use <a class="reference external" href="https://pypi.org/project/faker-file/">faker-file</a>.  faker-file works with Faker and
factory_boy. It is added as a &quot;faker provider&quot;. It supports text, csv, docx,
mp3, png, pdf, epub, etc, etc. Also <tt class="docutils literal">.eml</tt> email files.</p>
<p>You can have it generate random text, but you can also pass sample text. You
can also pass a template: you can use Faker's regular methods like
<tt class="docutils literal">first_name</tt> and <tt class="docutils literal">address</tt> in there. Handy!</p>
<p>If you generate a png, it will be a png with a bitmap of the text. A zipfile
with some folders and docx files is also possible. And zipfiles with folders
and zipfiles with pngs in them. So: basically everything.</p>
<p>Normally, the files are stored in some tempfile directory. You can also get
the raw byte contents if you need to pass it as test data to an API method, for
instance.</p>
<p>In case of Django: django needs the files to be inside its <tt class="docutils literal">MEDIA</tt> root,
otherwise you can get a &quot;suspicious file error&quot; exception. There's support to
handle that.</p>
<p>Handy: you can also call faker-file on the command line.</p>

mp3, png, pdf, epub, etc, etc. Also .eml email files.
You can have it generate random text, but you can also pass sample text. You
can also pass a template: you can use Faker's regular methods like
first_name and address in there. Handy!
If you generate a png, it will be a png with a bitmap of the text. A zipfile
with some folders and docx files is also possible. And zipfiles with folders
and zipfiles with pngs in them. So: basically everything.
Normally, the files are stored in some tempfile directory. You can also get
the raw byte contents if you need to pass it as test data to an API method, for
instance.
In case of Django: django needs the files to be inside its MEDIA root,
otherwise you can get a "suspicious file error" exception. There's support to
handle that.
Handy: you can also call faker-file on the command line.

"Software design" often sounds like "huge diagrams with lots of

customer actually wants. Or a big change in your mayor concept. Or fitting
together completely different technologies, especially when they are
opinionated.
What you also hear... "the code works, I don't have time for refactoring". "I have deadlines,
and it works, so I don't have to write tests". "I just ask chatgpt to clean my code".
His main point: software design is about consistently taking slightly

Name wisely. This about categorising things. Being clear about what it
is. Even better: a good name makes sure you yourself knows what something
is :-) If you cannot find a good name for something, perhaps you should
approach the problem in a different way? Perhaps you should turn your class
into a couple of functions.
If a function has "and" in the name: perhaps it should be split into two
separate functions.
If you use the word "library", don't use "lib" in other parts of the
code. Be consistent.
Use the naming scheme of the language that you use.
Use type annotations. It is extra work. But as you need to be explicit,
it also ensures you have a better understanding of your own code.
Injecting dependencies. It is easier to later change your code. When you

The core is that you should make the concious design decision to approach

Default to functions. Limit the amount of classes that you use to just

Functions are easier to test than classes.
Don't be greedy. If you only need a city name and a postal code, you
don't have to get an entire "Location" object with many other attributes. If
you don't need it, don't request it.

PyGrunn 2023: software design tips for lazy people - Arjan Egges

<div class="document">
<p>Hurray, this friday (23 May) there's the 11th installment of the Dutch
<a class="reference external" href="https://pygrunn.org/">PyGrunn</a> conference. Time to wake up again at an
early hour to grab the train to the north of the Netherlands :-) Oh, and to
dig out a historic legendary pygrunn t-shirt (I've chosen the 2012 one).</p>
<p>I really enjoy these conferences. There is a nice mix of talks to choose from,
from python inner details to how-we-use-it. Here are four that I'm looking
forward to:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Combining fastAPI and Django. At our company we're using fastAPI for a new
project, but all our existing projects are in Django. I hope to get a better
feel for the (im)possibilities. <em>Personally</em> I haven't used fastAPI, so
a conference like pygrunn helps a to broaden my knowledge. Sebastián
Ramírez, the creator of fastAPI, gives the closing talk so that'll be a good
source of information.</li>
<li>And... Sebastián's talk might also be a good source of a &quot;mental model&quot;, a
way of thinking about software and software design and projects. He'll talk
about <em>how to make code that is less error-prone, simpler, more efficient,
and have a great developer experience, all at the same time. And all this
while including best practices by default.</em> I have the feeling that I could
&quot;up my game&quot; quite a bit. I'm not using type hints everywhere. I really
need to understand <tt class="docutils literal">async/await</tt>, especially how to use that in an
understandable way. Anyway, that's what such a conference is for, too: to
influence us and to change the way we think.</li>
<li>Jan Murre's &quot;your API on the fly&quot; talk about how to <strong>generate</strong> APIs for
Amsterdam's many sets of open data. APIs filled through Airflow. We're
experimenting with Airflow, so some info from practical experience will come
in handy. And APIs generated from custom schemas sounds interesting on its
own.</li>
<li>Frontend for backenders. Yeah. I'm one of those dinosaurs: the last time I
touched javascript is probably 8 years ago. A bit of templating and a bit of
css is all I normally use for a frontend. Most of our frontends are nice
React single page apps talking to a backenders-created REST API. So
personally I'm very interested in what's possible for backenders :-)</li>
</ul>
<p>I always make <a class="reference external" href="https://reinout.vanrees.org/weblog/tags/pygrunn.html">summaries of the talks I attend</a>, I'll update the text
above with links to the talks once the conference is over.</p>
<p>Oh, I've used <strong>&quot;we&quot;</strong> and <strong>&quot;our&quot;</strong> above. That's <a class="reference external" href="https://nelen-schuurmans.nl/">Nelen &amp; Schuurmans</a>, a water/climate/data/python company in
Utrecht (NL). &quot;Data driven water management&quot; is the tagline, which fits quite
well. There's a <a class="reference external" href="https://nelen-schuurmans.nl/job/full-stack-developer/">vacancy right now</a>, which I'm sneaking
into this generic blog post :-) Our office is 5 minutes walk from Utrecht
central station, right in the nice old center of Utrecht... There's lots to
choose from: open source Qgis plugins, React, Django, fastAPI, Ansible,
hard-core Fortran (!) hydrology, kubernetes, postgis. And you're helping keep
the Netherlands (and parts of Australia, Germany, Vietnam, etc) dry where it
should be dry and wet where it should be wet.</p>
<p>You can talk to me at the conference for more info. There's a 2 minute <a class="reference external" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi6a-fMrRu4">video
of me explaining the company</a>,
I should still be recognizable even though I've lost some 12kg since making
