• Modern Python REPL in Emacs using VTerm

  From my jolly Julia days I’m used to julia-vterm. This emacs package runs a Julia REPL using a full terminal emulator (emacs-libvterm). So in the pursuit of a nice hack, I M-x replace-string’d the word juliawith python and gave it a shot. Remarkably, the whole thing just worked without much tweaking and you can enjoy the result by checking out the GitHub repo. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Does Your GitHub Repo Need a Landing Page

  I'm really not fond of that agpt landing page. So many red flags; the AI-generated background, mailing letter box with accompanying email-beggar text, the Discord button (!!!) being given as much space as the Github repo click-through... it's a mess. The whole website feels more boilerplate than content. I mean, look at these quotes! > With the help of the incredible open-source community, we’re making... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Why are there no ROS2 bindings for Julia(lang)?

  I’m wondering if there are any attempts for a ROS2 client library for Julia(lang)? I very much like the concepts of Julia and would like to use it in my robotics applications. I believe, that writing code in Julia is very efficient and productive. As a robotics engineer and researcher, I would definitively appreciate the possibility to use ROS2 with Julia.

• AskScience AMA Series: We've identified subsets of Long COVID by blood proteins, ask us anything!

  Kevin is a senior research scientist (read: fancy postdoc) at Wellesley College. He has a PhD in immunology, but transitioned to microbial genomics after graduate school, and now spends most of his time writing code (ask me about julia). His first postdoc was looking at the microbes that grow on the outer surface of cheese (it's a cool model system for studying microbial communities - here's the paper) and now...

• Any Good Alternatives for Matlab?

  Julia is a great alternative in terms of raw speed/performance (not a compatible language). Source: about 1 year ago

• Netscape and Sun announce JavaScript (1995)

  Fun fact: LiveScript is a FP-oriented language which compiles to JavaScript. It's been around for a while now :-) https://livescript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Dear Oracle, Please Release the JavaScript Trademark

  Too late. The name was taken when it was free. https://livescript.net/ (But seems inactive judging by GitHub). Actually a mostly quite nice little toy language. (Only the OOP part seems messed up a little bit; but besides that it looks quite clean). - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Jd

  I've been doing some research in this area: for day-to-day, quick and dirty, scripting purposes, if not Python, then what? I want something expressive: Python can be a bit verbose by default and isn't very good at oneliners. I want something that starts up fast, but can run a bit slower. It would be great if it had a REPL, but if compilation and/or startup are fast enough its lack would also be acceptable. The... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• A pipe operator for JavaScript: introduction and use cases

  LiveScript (https://livescript.net/) does this, amongst many other things (mostly CoffeeScript-inspired). I used it quite a bit and enjoyed it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• **** TypeScript

  JavaScript is an extremely elegant language. It's syntax is relatively simple and extremely flexible. This has lead to things like CoffeeScript, LiveScript, and the explosion of transpiling. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
