Hey guys, Check out a cool project made by our fellow countryman Itzik Kotler:
http://www.pythonect.org/ Pythonect is a new, experimental, general-purpose dataflow programming language based on Python. It aims to combine the intuitive feel of shell scripting (and all of its perks like implicit parallelism) with the flexibility and agility of Python. Pythonect interpreter (and reference implementation) is written in Python, and is available under the BSD license. Here's a quick tour of Pythonect: The canonical "Hello, world" example program in Pythonect: >>> "Hello World" -> print <MainProcess:Thread-1> : Hello World Hello World >>> '->' and '|' are both Pythonect operators. The pipe operator (i.e. '|') passes one item at a item, while the other operator passes all items at once. Python statements and other None-returning function are acting as a pass-through: >>> "Hello World" -> print -> print <MainProcess:Thread-2> : Hello World <MainProcess:Thread-2> : Hello World Hello World >>> >>> 1 -> import math -> math.log 0.0 >>> Parallelization in Pythonect: >>> "Hello World" -> [ print , print ] <MainProcess:Thread-4> : Hello World <MainProcess:Thread-5> : Hello World ['Hello World', 'Hello World'] >>> range(0,3) -> import math -> math.sqrt [0.0, 1.0, 1.4142135623730951] >>> In the future, I am planning on adding support for multi-processing, and even distributed computing. I don't know whether Itzik is a member of this group. If you are, congrats Itzik, very cool project! Ram.
