a peek of python’s state

python is growing popular, personally, mainly due to it’s lower entry barrier. however, the lower entry is in existence partially due to it has historically (“not yet”) never been extremly cautiously designed.
while a lot mature languages has a big community/collective intelligence to form the princeples/guidance before the features/design/establish of implemetations, which secured a robust/stable/scablable language and ecosystem, python is not born nor in existance like that.

it’s easy to start with, but not equally means good to start building on. just a persoanl thought at the momoent.

a peek of the depency mangement state alone(with only two versions of the python at the moment):

(i am happy to build on and with python, however, just 2 cents, it’s not yet ready for all entreprise.)

Another angle of view: imperative/procedural vs functional/declarative

Transitioning for OOP Developers
In traditional object-oriented programming (OOP), most developers are accustomed to programming in the imperative/procedural style. To switch to developing in a pure functional style, they have to make a transition in their thinking and their approach to development.
To solve problems, OOP developers design class hierarchies, focus on proper encapsulation, and think in terms of class contracts. The behavior and state of object types are paramount, and language features, such as classes, interfaces, inheritance, and polymorphism, are provided to address these concerns.
In contrast, functional programming approaches computational problems as an exercise in the evaluation of pure functional transformations of data collections. Functional programming avoids state and mutable data, and instead emphasizes the application of functions.

AI for system support

Have tried to build an AI bot since almost 3 years back, finally did a prototype, in case anybody would like to do something similar:

Technologies:

Java, Scala, Python, Anaconda, Scikit Learn,  EWS, BootStrap, AngularJS/JQuery

Components:

Data Set

1. I have built a scala web crawler, to download all historical support issues.
2. at the same time, have manually cleaned up/read through each of the thousand of support issues, put in corresponding resolutions corresponding to each

AI

1. have leveraged on anaconda & scikit learn, to NLP, to tokenize each support issue (text), remove stop words, stemmed each, remove punctuations
2. have leveraged on anaconda & scikit learn, bag each token of the text as feature vs class, to feed into linear regression classifier, tried SLDA, so far working at 72% accuracy

AI Exposer

1. have exposed AI as a service

Issue Feeder

1. have leveraged EWS to read in all issues, post to AI service

UI

1. have built a web user interface, on top of HTML5 + JQuery + Bootstrap, to show the support emails + AI responded resolutions
2. have a option on UI, to provide user feedback to AI, to keep its intelligence updated

Notifier

1. leverage on Java Mail API, Chat API, to post alerts for critical issues
