Converting Julia to Javascript and WebAssembly

Converting Julia to Javascript and WebAssembly

I have a “two language problem”, but not this two language problem.  I often find myself prototyping small data analysis projects in Julia, and then rewriting them as web applications using Angular & Typescript to make them easily accessible to a broad audience.  Much of the work is similar in Julia and Typescript (such as creating plots) so it’s not that annoying to translate, but occasionally I run into analytical code that is really painful to rewrite in Typescript.  Some…

Online demos for Flux.jl

Online demos for Flux.jl

I’m currently developing a set of demos for Flux, a slick new Julia machine learning framework.  It’s still under active development and won’t be ready for production use any time soon, but it’s already a very powerful tool and lets you develop models in far less time than would be required with something like PyTorch or TensorFlow. One of the nice things about Flux is that it’s easy to export trained models to the web with deeplearn.js via FluxJS.  There’s…

Want to solve some differential equations?

Want to solve some differential equations?

Over the past two weeks I’ve been working with Chris Rackauckas on a nifty little project – putting the power of DifferentialEquations.jl into your browser. Chris, in addition to being the driving force behind DifferentialEquations.jl, did some amazing work getting the startup time down for the service and it now feels pretty snappy. It’s been a great learning experience, and we now have a good idea for what goes into deploying a julia-driven website on a service like Heroku. If…

VMWare’s Project Clarity

VMWare’s Project Clarity

I switched over from Angular 1 to Angular 2 this past summer, and after a steep initial learning curve it’s been working very well.  The ecosystem for A2 has a long way to go before it catches up with all the good resources that are available for A1, but things are moving quickly.  One early pain point for me was finding a UI framework that meshed nicely with A2’s bindings.  Originally I was using Material Design 2, but it is…
