Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Last 21 hours!

March 8th - via: kickstarter.com
Kickstarter tells me I have about 21 hours left before this KS finishes. It looks like we will meet most of our stretch goals. The  C/C++ (£6000) goal is almost there. The one that looks slightly harder to meet is the GPU accelerated one at £8000.... (Read More)

Interfacing with C/C++

March 1st - via: kickstarter.com
Supporter Howard gave me this idea; it was something I was aware of, but had forgotten. Many times, Python code can be sped up by interfacing with C/C++ code. Nowadays, just in time compilers (like Numba) are also available, that speed up Python code... (Read More)

Voting results

Stretch Goals

February 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Hi, So I've been talking to my email list about stretch goals, and quite a few ideas were suggested. More than I could handle! But I'll try to summarise the main ones. At the end, there will be a form for you to choose which of these ideas you want... (Read More)

Fully Funded in only 2 Hours!

February 8th - via: kickstarter.com
So the great news is, we are fully funded in two hours from launch! I already have some great ideas for the stretch goals, after talking to my email list. I'll sort out the details and send another update soon. Thanks again, Shantnu  (Read More)
