Small Discussion About Kotlin?

What is Kotlin?

Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that runs on the Java virtual machine and also can be compiled to JavaScript source code or use the LLVM compiler infrastructure. Its primary development is from a team of JetBrains programmers based in Saint Petersburg, Russia. While the syntax is not compatible with Java, Kotlin is designed to interoperate with Java code and is reliant on Java code from the existing Java Class Library, such as the collections framework.

Kotlin is a general purpose, open source, statically typed “pragmatic” programming language for the JVM and Android that combines object-oriented and functional programming features. It is focused on interoperability, safety, clarity, and tooling support. Versions of Kotlin for JavaScript (ECMAScript 5.1) and native code (using LLVM) are in the works.

Kotlin originated at JetBrains, the company behind IntelliJ IDEA, in 2010, and has been open source since 2012.

Kotlin compiles to JVM bytecode or JavaScript. It is not a language you will write a kernel in. It is of greatest interest to people who work with Java today, although it could appeal to all programmers who use a garbage collected runtime, including people who currently use Scala, Go, Python, Ruby and JavaScript.

Small Discussion About Julia Language?

What is Julia Language?
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for numerical computing.

It provides a sophisticated compiler, distributed parallel execution, numerical accuracy, and an extensive mathematical function library.
Julia’s Base library, largely written in Julia itself, also integrates mature, best-of-breed open source C and Fortran libraries for linear algebra, random number generation, signal processing, and string processing. In addition, the Julia developer community is contributing a number of external packages through Julia’s built-in package manager at a rapid pace. IJulia, a collaboration between the Jupyter and Julia communities, provides a powerful browser-based graphical notebook interface to Julia.

Julia programs are organized around multiple dispatch; by defining functions and overloading them for different combinations of argument types, which can also be user-defined.

Features

Multiple dispatch: providing ability to define function behavior across many combinations of argument types
Dynamic type system: types for documentation, optimization, and dispatch
Good performance, approaching that of statically-compiled languages like C
Built-in package manager
Lisp-like macros and other metaprogramming facilities
Call Python functions: use the PyCall package
Call C functions directly: no wrappers or special APIs
Powerful shell-like capabilities for managing other processes
Designed for parallelism and distributed computation
Coroutines: lightweight “green” threading
User-defined types are as fast and compact as built-ins
Automatic generation of efficient, specialized code for different argument types
Elegant and extensible conversions and promotions for numeric and other types
Efficient support for Unicode, including but not limited to UTF-8
MIT licensed: free and open source

Small Introduction About Delphi Programming?

What is Delphi Programming?

Delphi is both an object oriented programming language (OOP) and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Published by the Embarcadero company (formerly CodeGear and more formerly Borland), Delphi is an alternative to language such as Visual Basic offering development with both rapidity and good quality.

It originated from the Pascal language, which then became Object Pascal (pascal with objects support). Delphi is based on the Object Pascal language. The IDE runs on Windows, but the compiler targets Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux. Third party add-ins provide the ability compile to JavaScript for web development.

Delphi includes the RunTime Library (RTL) that provides basic functionality across all the platforms. For Windows it provides the Visual Component Library (VCL), and for cross platform development it includes FireMonkey (FMX).

Delphi includes a code editor, a visual designer, an integrated debugger, a source code control component, and support for third-party plugins. The code editor features Code Insight (code completion), Error Insight (real-time error-checking), and refactoring.

The visual forms designer has traditionally used Visual Component Library (VCL) for native Windows development, but the FireMonkey (FMX) platform was later added for cross-platform development. Database support in Delphi is very strong. A Delphi project of a million lines to compile in a few seconds – one benchmark gave 170,000 lines per second.

It provides interfaces for the programmer to build an application using the Extensible Markup Language (XML), Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and Web Services Description Language (WSDL).

Small Discussion about Minikube?

What is Minikube?

Minikube is a tool that makes it easy to run Kubernetes locally. Minikube runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a VM on your laptop for users looking to try out Kubernetes or develop with it day-to-day.

Minikube supports Kubernetes features such as:

DNS
NodePorts
ConfigMaps and Secrets
Dashboards
Container Runtime: Docker, rkt, CRI-O and containerd
Enabling CNI (Container Network Interface)
Ingress

When using a single VM of Kubernetes, it’s really handy to reuse the Minikube’s built-in Docker daemon; as this means you don’t have to build a docker registry on your host machine and push the image into it -

We can just build inside the same docker daemon as minikube which speeds up local experiments. Just make sure you tag your Docker image with something other than ‘latest’ and use that tag while you pull the image. Otherwise, if you do not specify version of your image,

it will be assumed as :latest, with pull image policy of Always correspondingly, which may eventually result in ErrImagePull as you may not have any versions of your Docker image out there in the default docker registry (usually DockerHub) yet.

Small Discussion about Polymer.Js?

What is Polymer.Js?

Polymer.js is a JavaScript library created by Google that allows reusing the HTML elements for building applications with components. Polymer is an open-source JavaScript library developed by Google developers

Polymer provides a number of features over vanilla Web Components:

Simplified way of creating custom elements
Both One-way and Two-way data binding
Computed properties
Conditional and repeat templates
Gesture events

Polymer.js places a hefty set of requirements on the browser, relying on a number of technologies that are in still in the process of standardization (by W3C) and are not yet present in today’s browsers.

Examples include the shadow dom, template elements, custom elements, HTML imports, mutation observers, model-driven views, pointer events, and web animations. These are marvelous technologies, but at least as of now, that are yet-to-come to modern browsers.

The Polymer strategy is to have front-end developers leverage these leading-edge, still-to-come, browser-based technologies, which are currently in the process of standardization (by W3C), as they become available.

The recommended polyfills are designed in such a way that (at least theoretically) will be seamless to replace once the native browser versions of these capabilities become available.

Small Discussion about MLib?

What is MLlib?

MLlib (Spark) is Apache Spark’s machine learning library. Its goal is to make practical machine learning scalable and easy. It consists of common learning algorithms and utilities, including classification, regression, clustering, collaborative filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as lower-level optimization primitives and higher-level pipeline APIs.

Main Benefits

Ease of Use
Performance
Runs Everywhere

MLlib contains many algorithms and utilities.

ML algorithms include:

Classification: logistic regression, naive Bayes,...
Regression: generalized linear regression, survival regression,...
Decision trees, random forests, and gradient-boosted trees
Recommendation: alternating least squares (ALS)
Clustering: K-means, Gaussian mixtures (GMMs),...
Topic modeling: latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)
Frequent itemsets, association rules, and sequential pattern mining

Spark revolves around the concept of a resilient distributed dataset (RDD), which is a fault-tolerant collection of elements that can be operated on in parallel. There are two ways to create RDDs: parallelizing an existing collection in your driver program, or referencing a dataset in an external storage system, such as a shared filesystem, HDFS, HBase, or any data source offering a Hadoop InputFormat.
