The "Faster CPython" project aims to speed up Python, specifically CPython, by a large factor over the next few releases.
The first release to see the benefits of this work is Python 3.11. Python 3.11 includes the following major changes: * Adaptive specializing interpreter (PEP 659)
* Consecutively allocated execution frames
* Zero cost try-except
* More regular object layout
* Lazily created object dictionaries. I will describe each of these, describing how each helps speed up Python, and how they interact with each other. I will end the talk with some possible directions for Python 3.12. PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS:

Digital audio has been around for 40 years, but working with audio data can still be complicated, especially in Python. In this talk, we'll talk about how digital audio works from the ground up (from sounds, to bytes, to files), how you can use Python to do a bunch of really neat things with audio, and how a new Python library – Pedalboard – helps make working with audio much easier. Ever used a digital audio workstation (DAW) like GarageBand, Ableton Live, Logic, or Pro Tools? Today's musicians use DAWs as instruments in themselves. But what if you want to combine the power of a DAW with the flexibility of writing your own code? Pedalboard was built to fill this niche: to pull the power of a DAW into your Python code. Pedalboard makes it easy to build and apply audio effects, read and write audio files, and load audio plug-ins (""VSTs"") without any complicated dependencies or frameworks. Just `import pedalboard` and go! PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS:

gRPC is a cross-platform open source high performance Remote Procedure Call framework. gRPC was initially created by Google, which has used a single general-purpose RPC infrastructure called Stubby to connect the large number of microservices running within and across its data centers for over a decade. Watch this video to learn about the top 8 tips on how to get value out of gPRC. PUBLICATION PERMISSIONS:
