This blog post on our work on PyTorch at Quansight captures a huge amount of work from a team that's both technically excellent and mutually supportive. I started leading a small trial project almost 3 years ago. It's been quite a journey to get to this scale & impact 🤯

I had fun talking at @odsc East yesterday about parallelism in a NumPy-based stack. Hopefully gave some folks a few tools for easy performance tweaks & troubleshooting. Also, we have work to do. Ex: why you want to use Conda Forge today and why we need to work on our PyPI story:

I've finally put my finger on why "gradual typing" is often so difficult to implement in established Python packages. The issue is that it runs entirely counter to the "Easier to Ask for Forgiveness than Permission" (EAFP) coding style long advocated in the Python language.
