Resumo: “Python has become the most popular language for scientists, engineers, and data science and ML/AI practitioners in industry. In this talk we will discuss the PyData ecosystem, starting with a bit of history and then focusing on where it is at today and one of its main challenges – making numerical code more performant. There are multiple approaches to this, from vectorization to integrating compiled code to JIT compilation of Python code. Finally we will talk about the social aspects of this open source community and how you could go about learning more about it or contributing yourself.”
