Python 3.5 se viene con nuevas características en su sintaxis

Eramos pocos y se viene Python 3.5 y al parecer trae nueva sintaxis, tambien nuevos módulos y mejoras en librerías.

Las corutinas van a tener una nueva sintaxis para sincronizarse o para detenerse, veamos un ejemplo:

async def read_data(db):
    async with db.transaction():
        data = await db.fetch('SELECT ...')

Todo gracias a la implementaciones de PEP, permiten mejorar el lenguaje.

Clojure 1.7 intorduce Transducers y mejora el soporte multiplataforma

Deje Transducers porque no encontré una traducción que me convenza. Transducers  son transformaciones algorítmicas componibles. Por lo que estuve leyendo son independientes del contexto y a simple vista se parecen mucho a las monads.

Clojure 1.7 agrega esta nueva funcionalidad no solo porque es útil al programador, sino porque permite dar mejor soporte a la plataforma java y javascript.

Con esta nueva funcionalidad queda claro que clojure no solo nos trae a Lisp a java, javascript y clr sino que viene con nuevos conceptos.

Probando Ubuntu 15.04

Sigo probando distros, ahora le toca a Ubuntu 15.04.

Si, es más ágil que la versión anterior, si es rápido pero a mi entender es lo único que cambia. Unity sigue igual. En cuanto a las personalizaciones bastante acotadas.

Reconozco que la disro esta genial, pero confieso que tenia muchas expectativas y no se cumplieron. No hay tantos cambios.

Dejo algunos screenshots:

Sigo probando distros Linux ahora Manjaro,  Manjaro es una excelente distro derivada de Arch. La versión que probe es la que utiliza xfce.

Porque digo que excelente?

• Muy rápido
• Muy elegante
• Muy simple
