Don't get upset about CPython concurrency - just get Grumpy!

Here's a short recommended read that was brought to my attention by a teammate. If you've grumbled about poor concurrency support in conventional Python, Grumpy looks like it's coming to the rescue.

I suspect this break-through reflects the benefits of new concurrency approaches, as reflected in recent packages (like Akka) and languages (Go).

It's a fundamental shift, since Go extensions will be supported over C extensions. I assume that means Grumpy and CPython will co-exist for some time, unless most existing C extensions get re-coded in Go? It will be interesting to see how this unfolds!

Fascinating websites

In the course of researching various topics, I came across the following websites, which are really cool:

  • CafePress - Find that special T-shirt or (better yet) make your own.

  • Git and GitHub - A new version control system and on-line open source repository.

  • Google Code - Google's on-line, svn-based open source repository.

  • RedBubble - Sort of like CafePress, but for graphic artists and photographers.

  • Scribd - An on-line publication site, for free and "for fee" docs.

  • Yahoo! Mobile - Yahoo! services for your mobile phone.

Enjoy!
