Pony – The new programming language || Univ_Techs




Pony is an open source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure and high-performance programming language.



 There are a lot of programming languages out there in real world for different-different tasks. As the technology is evolving, new programming languages are emerging to work with cutting-edge technologies. Google’s GO language and Mozilla’s Rust are the solid examples of new and efficient programming languages which are becoming a lot more popular among the developers. These languages also set an example for developers and enterprises to create or contribute on a new language instead of relying on the old and inefficient programming. The process may take time but make it an open source project often help for faster development.

Wallaroo, a distributed data processing framework for building high-performance streaming data applications couldn’t handle the high throughput and low-latency workloads. So the developers had to come up with a proper solution for that. That led them to make use of Pony Programming language. Designed by Sylvan Clebsch, Pony is a new programming language capable of solving the hard problems in computing systems.

What is Pony Programming Language?

Pony computer language is the new entrant into the world of programming. It is a very special coding language because it possesses all the features to solve the most complex concurrent problems faced by the computing systems. The language was designed by
Pony is an open source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language. It is an ahead-of-time (AOT) compiled language. There is no interpreter nor virtual machine.

A simple Hello world Program in Pony

actor Main
new create(env: Env) =>
env.out.print("Hello, world!")

Pony’s philosophy is to “get-stuff-done” with its characteristics such as correctness, performance, simplicity, consistency, and completeness. But the primary areas that emphasis to use Pony programming language is correctness and performance.

As Pony is the new face of the programming world it consists of a small but lively community of developers. Even the members of Wallaro labs and other open-source community activity improve on runtime and standard library of the language.

Features:

  • Highly concurrent
  • Correctness 
  • Data Safety 
  • Fast and Efficient

Advantages of Pony
  • Pony is type-safe that it consists of mathematical proofs.
  • It is memory-safe, so it doesn’t consist of dangling pointers, buffer overruns, heck, and there’s no concept of null.
  • It’s exception safe, so exceptions are always handled itself.
  • It’s deadlock free

Drawbacks
  • Due to the new programming language, there is a lack of API stability, lack of high-quality 3rd party libraries, and consists of limited native tooling.

Apple’s 'Create ML' || Univ_Techs

      Apple announced a new feature for developers called Create ML . It Create machine learning models for use in your app. Create ML is a machine learning framework in Swift which can be used to train the machine learning models using native Apple technologies like Swift, Xcode, and Other Apple frameworks. This means machine learning is possible within Apple ecosystem without any third-party service.  Create ML technology has following features,.. A simple approach for training the model using images, texts, and tabular data Models still can be trained using complex algorithm if you are expert Machine learning models can be created using Xcode Playground, Swift, and native Apple framework The process of creating and training module can be automated using Swift scripts.      You train a model to recognize patterns by showing it representative samples. For example, you can train a model to recognize dogs by showing it lots of images of different dogs. A

A quick look Tensorflow - Machine Learning || UNIV_TECHS

What's New in Tensorflow Machine Learning Google's TensorFlow 1.4 machine learning library adds the contributed Dataset API for working with data sources, but watch out for breakage caused by the update. TensorFlow, Google’s contribution to the world of machine learning and data science, is a general framework for quickly developing neural networks. Despite being relatively new, TensorFlow has already found wide adoption as a common platform for such work, thanks to its powerful abstractions and ease of use. TensorFlow 1.4 API additions TensorFlow Keras API The biggest changes in TensorFlow 1.4 involve two key additions to the core TensorFlow API. The  tf.keras  API allows users to employ the Keras API, a neural network library that predates TensorFlow but is quickly being displaced by it. The tf.keras API allows software using Keras to be transitioned to TensorFlow, either by using the Keras interface permanently, or as a prelude to the so
