MIT's report on AI and education is one of the smartest and deepest takes I've seen to date on the subject. But it's not a "we'll allow X and we'll forbid Y" report. Rather, it's saying that AI can an

A very interesting point. Coding with AI definitely requires tight, fast loops. I don't have much experience with Rust, but I had heard that the compiler is slow (because it's doing so much thinking and checking in advance). I&#x2

I've been taking Chinese lessons for a number of years, and my teacher described her son as learning characters via pinyin. But it's quite possible (even likely) that the common ones don't require pinyin, and/or that I m

I can see Rust (and to some degree, Go) as the modern outputs from AI. My point about Python being Pinyin is that both of these languages have a relatively steep learning curve for someone without programming experience, and that it might b

I don't know if it's that hard for people to go from Python (where whitespace is significant) to languages that use {} and the like. But hey, people only hire me when they want people to learn Python, not when they're moving

Interesting -- I still think that Python is an easier onramp than TypeScript for new developers. But given the popularity and depth of JavaScript, and the clear advantages (and popularity) of TypeScript in serious development, that's n

While working on a PhD in technology and education, I thought that it might be worth creating a SaaS for people to teach whatever they want. This was back in early 2008, when such sites didn't exist. I assembled a team, and we made som

A lot of people I know, including many of my students, first heard about uv as a lightning-fast replacement for pip. That's what piqued their interest, and that's also more or less where they stopped. Just yesterday, someone was a

I dunno, every single conference I've attended over the years had at least one talk trying to make sense of packaging -- downloading, installing, venvs, creating wheelfiles, and distributing to PyPI. It was nice to say that you could c

Sorry to disappoint! I can tell you that many people I've met, including those who have read the documentation, kept asking questions about how to use uv. This article is a summary that I came up with, based on my experience and theirs

I teach Python professionally, and constantly get questions from my students about how they should be using uv, and how to integrate it with pip, pyenv, venvs, and the like. When I shared this post with them, my students said that it clarif
