It provides a cleaner, more standards-compliant, faster API than you are likely to write from scratch.Speedy First the server is written in Haskell using the Warp HTTP server (aka a compiled language with lightweight threads). Next it delegates as much calculation as possible to the database.Finally it uses the database efficiently with the Hasql libraryPostgREST handles authentication (via JSON Web Tokens) and delegates authorization to the role information defined in the database. This ensures there is a single declarative source of truth for security. Brian #2: How Python Asyncio Works: Recreating it from Scratch Jacob PadillaCool tutorial walking through how async works, including Generators ReviewThe Event LoopSleepingYield to AwaitAwait with AsyncIOAnother great async resource is: Build your Own Async David Beasley talk from 2019 Michael #3: Bend A massively parallel, high-level programming language.With Bend you can write parallel code for multi-core CPUs/GPUs without being a C/CUDA expert with 10 years of experience. It feels just like Python!No need to deal with the complexity of concurrent programming: locks, mutexes, atomics... any work that can be done in parallel will be done in parallel. Brian #4: The Smartest Way to Learn Python Regular Expressions Christian Mayer, Zohaib Riaz, and Lukas RiegerSelf published ebook on Python Regex that utilizes book form readings, links to video course sectionspuzzle challenges to complete onlineIt’s a paid resource, but the min is free.
