May meeting

Princeton Python Monthly: May 2024
Happy May!
Our next meeting is a week from Monday!
As usual we will start with a beginner-friendly review of recent tutorials, then everyone's introductions/updates; and finally Mike's links, Python news and the usual mix of the latest tools, testing, and tutorials at https://www.princetonpy.org/next-meeting/.
And as always, your questions/ideas/doings are welcome--so join us!
Ask us about what we've been doing lately:

- hissp : "Hissp is a modular Lisp implementation that compiles to a functional subset of Python—Syntactic macro metaprogramming with full access to the Python ecosystem!"
- starlark-go : "Starlark is a dialect of Python intended for use as a configuration language. [...] Starlark in Go is an interpreter for Starlark, implemented in Go."
- cue: "CUE is an open-source data validation language and inference engine with its roots in logic programming. Although the language is not a general-purpose programming language, it has many applications, such as data validation, data templating, configuration, querying, code generation and even scripting. The inference engine can be used to validate data in code or to include it as part of a code generation pipeline. [...] A key thing that sets CUE apart from its peer languages is that it merges types and values into a single concept. Whereas in most languages types and values are strictly distinct, CUE orders them in a single hierarchy (a lattice, to be precise). This is a very powerful concept that allows CUE to do many fancy things. It also simplifies matters. For instance, there is no need for generics and enums, sum types and null coalescing are all the same thing."

- The SIM – the tiny computer in your pocket that’s really in control
- "The vast majority of SIMs today are in fact Universal Integrated Circuit Cards (UICC) that implement Oracle’s Java Card standard, a smart card specification. As such, SIMs are complete computing platforms with a CPU, RAM, persistent storage and connectivity that can run specially targeted apps coded in Java."
