Articles, Tutorials and Talks

Basilisp: Clojure on the Python VM

Everyone knows Clojure runs on the JVM and CLR, in Node, and in the browser, but what about Python? Basilisp is a mostly-compatible implementation of Clojure for Python, enabling users who may not be familiar with Java or JavaScript to experience the joy of Clojure.

Don't return named tuples in new APIs
Named tuples should generally be avoided in new APIs, as they add unnecessary complexity by supporting both index-based and attribute-based data access, leading to potential misuse and added maintenance. Instead, using options like data classes or typed dictionaries can offer clearer, more structured code with similar benefits.

OLMo: Accelerating the Science of Language Modeling (COLM)

The OLMo project aims to create powerful, fully open language models accessible to researchers, including open-source code for data, training, and inference. This initiative addresses the need for transparency in AI research by providing a comprehensive framework for building and studying language models, enabling investigation of biases, risks, and fundamental challenges in current models.

A Comprehensive Guide to Python Project Management and Packaging: Concepts Illustrated with uv – Part I
The goal of this guide is to provide a comprehensive guide to Python project management and packaging. We’ll explore concepts in the standard, like the different tables in pyproject.toml by revisiting the PEPs that led to what we have today. We’ll explain what was used before, why it needed to change, and how the changes provided by the PEPs solved the issues. This walkthrough of the historical context is important to understand current practices.

Step-by-Step Python Package Deployment with GitHub Actions

Publishing a Python package doesn't have to be overwhelming! This video walks you through the entire deployment process step-by-step. You'll learn how to automate releases with GitHub Actions and how to successfully publish your package on PyPi.

Why Durable Execution Should Be Lightweight
How to make your programs crashproof without changing the way they're built.

Tiny GraphRAG (Part 1)
A tiny 1000 line implementation of GraphRAG in Python.

Host a FastAPI Application Without a Server
FastAPI, true to its name, is among the fastest frameworks for building APIs. It is a go-to choice for developers aiming to create APIs with speed and ease. Traditionally, hosting and sharing a FastAPI server involves setting up cloud environments, which can be time-consuming. In this article we’ll demonstrate how to bypass that complexity and instantly share your FastAPI server from localhost with a single command using Pinggy.
