Dynamically Typed Languages: Flexibility at Your Fingertips
If youโve ever coded in Python, JavaScript, or Ruby, youโve already experienced the magic โ variables that donโt need a type declaration. Thatโs the essence of dynamically typed languages. But what does it really mean, and why do developers love (and sometimes fear) it? 1. The Core Idea In a dynamically typed language, the type... Continue Reading →
Lazy Evaluation vs Eager Evaluation: Compute Now or Compute When Needed
Have you ever noticed that some Python operations donโt execute immediately? Or why creating huge lists can crash your program? Thatโs where lazy evaluation vs eager evaluation comes into play โ two contrasting approaches for handling computation. Understanding them is critical if you work with Python, Spark, or any data-intensive pipeline. 1. Eager Evaluation: Compute... Continue Reading →
Bridging the Gap: How GenAI Translates Business Vision into Technical Execution for Engineers
