Python for Speed, Scale, and Science
Talk video
Talk presentation
Python is sometimes discounted as slow because of its dynamic typing and interpreted nature and not suitable for scale because of the GIL. But, in this talk, I will show how with the help of talented open-source contributors around the world, we have been able to build systems in Python that are fast and scalable to many machines and how this has helped Python take over Science.
