[00:05:11] <sinistersnare> streety, so iStrategyLabs? great! ill see if i came make it!

[00:07:34] <streety> yeah, iStrategyLabs

[00:07:57] <streety> & welcome to the wonderful world of python sinistersnare

[00:08:12] <streety> what sort of projects have you been working on?

[00:45:08] <sinistersnare> streety, sorry, watching netflix :p

[00:45:27] <sinistersnare> im a highschool senior, and have recently been looking into jython for gaming!

[00:45:53] <sinistersnare> but now irc is on my main monitor now!

[00:46:24] <sinistersnare> specifically using the libgdx java framework. Its really cool, and I want to see how it goes!

[02:58:28] <streety> libgdx is new to me but looks like an interesting project

[03:03:14] <streety> I've been using jython recently - initially I feared it would be too slow for my needs but it did encourage me to seek out an improved algorithm

[03:04:31] <streety> strangely, porting the code to Java was very fast ... until it crashed running out of memory. Not quite sure what was happening there

[03:05:24] <streety> sinistersnare: is jython the recommended approach to using libgdx? or just one of the options?

[04:03:00] <sinistersnare> streety, im the first one to try jython and libgdx :p theres some guy who keeps tweeting me about using it with different editors since i made the libgdx wiki page on it though!

[04:03:40] <sinistersnare> i did the python work, a nice guy from #scala helped with the scala libgdx, and theres been a good amount of clojure work already done, i just made the article!

[04:03:55] <streety> Good for you!

[04:04:04] <streety> Java folk do like their IDEs

[04:04:10] <sinistersnare> jython has the potential to be faster and more efficient than CPython, due to the JVM, but they dont have the resources to work on that

[04:04:59] <sinistersnare> yes they do :p its been really fun, and hopefully ill have more time to do programming since marching band ended; ive been so busy lately!

[04:05:18] <streety> I hadn't really looked into the performance comparisons of Jython vs CPython, more Java vs Jython

[04:06:07] <sinistersnare> yes, there are a couple of hiccups, but they are just about to add SSL to get pip working! only a couple weeks (i hear) until 2.7beta 2!

[04:06:32] <sinistersnare> and i talked to one of the head maintainers, he said that they might just skip to py~3.3, try and catch up!

[04:06:53] <streety> that sounds sensible

[04:07:19] <sinistersnare> yep, so are you gonna be there tomorrow? Ive never driven through DC by myself, what is it near?

[04:08:10] <streety> almost definitely. I need to make time to pack for a flight on Wednesday but I think I'll make it

[04:08:42] <sinistersnare> Awesome! I'm really excited! None of my friends are programmers, let alone python programmers, so I cant wait to talk about programming!

[04:08:46] <streety> Data analysis is what I use Python for most

[04:09:06] <sinistersnare> Cool, I havent done any (no data to analyze!) but i think itll be a great talk!

[04:09:22] <streety> I usually get the metro down, it's really conveniently located and I work beside another metro station

[04:09:32] <sinistersnare> oh thats a good idea. Which color?

[04:09:38] <streety> the red line

[04:09:39] <sinistersnare> ill just look it up!

[04:09:46] <sinistersnare> oh great! shady grove is on the red line!

[04:11:27] <streety> yeah, it's a quick trip down to Dupont circle, then about a one block walk

[04:11:43] <sinistersnare> yeah, Google Maps confirms. cool!

[04:13:06] <streety> If you want to get started with data analysis it's fairly easy to find data . . . just need to find something that interests you

[04:13:53] <sinistersnare> yep, maybe ill get a good head start tomorrow :p
