Did you know that Python caches integers?
To gain a performance boost and avoid reallocation of frequently used integers, Python creates singleton instances of small integer values and uses them by reference. (more…)
Read more »Grigore showed that Java generics are Turing complete by describing a
reduction from Turing machines to Java subtyping. We apply Grigore’s algorithm
to Python type hints and deduce that they are Turing complete. In addition, we
present an alternative redu… Read more
