Gotcha!
Re:Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8 on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @11:50AM (#11290509)
Thanks. I'm not familiar with dynamic linking. What will that do?
Re:Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8 on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @11:17AM (#11290260)
Any specific plans for python support?
Re:Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8 on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @11:10AM (#11290196)
Or julia. Which is 1000th better than js
Re:Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8 on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @11:09AM (#11290188)
It will eventually, iirc
Re:Experimental support for WebAssembly in V8 on Tuesday March 15, 2016 @10:53AM (#11290042)
Question please: Even though there is stated desire to support python etc vm, this will be hampered by the need for the client to download the large VM vs native code that can be distributed itself, correct?

Have you tried dask?

What about dynd? Iirc doesn't use iteration st all.

Woah!!! Cool
Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Sunday January 03, 2016 @05:45AM (#10830191)
Make sure you use the devect macro or parallel accelerator if you're going to use vector iced code :)
Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Sunday January 03, 2016 @05:07AM (#10830114)
It's not a would and gpod. Numba works like that right now, has better interoperability with python and less context switching.

Numba is I easily installed on all systems through conda package manager and is easily used with just a function decorator

Seems you are grasping at straws here.

Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Sunday January 03, 2016 @05:05AM (#10830109)
Actually, Numba array allocation in nopython mode is allowed now.

What other numerical features are missing?

Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Sunday January 03, 2016 @05:03AM (#10830104)
Numba obviate these issues
Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Saturday January 02, 2016 @11:32PM (#10829507)
What would one need to use c or c++ to write a julia package? It's as fast as native code so no need to use multiple languages.
Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Saturday January 02, 2016 @08:30PM (#10829038)
Numba would still be faster. It would fuse away any intermediates in the code and remove any Overhead to the compiled code.

also have the option of devecting to loops.

both of which are generally faster than vectorized jumpy code.

Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Saturday January 02, 2016 @07:31PM (#10828823)
Numbs compiles entire functions on and allows array expressions with allocation and loop fusion. I don't see the problem
Re:Using D and std.ndslice as a Numpy Replacement on Saturday January 02, 2016 @06:55PM (#10828663)
Use numba to compile python loops or array expressions to fast llvm, and problem solved. I'm sticking with python.
Re:Why Julia's DataFrames Are Still Slow on Sunday November 29, 2015 @10:37AM (#10644825)
That's just the data structure. Fitting models would be much tougher.
Re:Julia Computing Granted $600k by Moore Foundation on Sunday November 15, 2015 @09:16AM (#10569650)
Will julia ever be popular for general computing and Web stuff? It's s till fast for non scientific use cases, has multi threading (in master) and is getting go like channels.
Julia!!!!! The answer to all these problems, both for general and science programming.
Re:Comparison – R vs. Python: head to head data analysis on Wednesday October 14, 2015 @05:53PM (#10389798)
Dask has that, and scikit learn is moving that way also. It even beats spark for out of core work on a single machine
Re:Comparison – R vs. Python: head to head data analysis on Wednesday October 14, 2015 @05:35PM (#10389716)
There's a dev branch that has been actively developed
Re:Making Cython as easy as Python on Thursday September 24, 2015 @01:38AM (#10270020)
Numba has list, Named tuples, and is working on define your own jit classes.
Re:Making Cython as easy as Python on Thursday September 24, 2015 @01:35AM (#10270005)
Numba has loop fusion, runtime, and soon multithreading parallel vectorized functions. How is that c like?
Re:All evidence points to OOP being bullshit (2013) on Thursday August 27, 2015 @08:46AM (#10129041)
Check out Julia ' s Cxx.jl. it's probably the best c++ FFI in any language. You can even evaluation and call cpp code on the fly from the repl
What was the diet?

Or use pymc 3 for the bayes equivalent. It's Better anyways. Yes one can also use rpy2. I think glmm is a gsoc project or an upcoming pr but not 100% sure.

What is second generation numba? And any plans to branch numba out of pure numeric application s?
