ActiveState - The Open Source Languages Company
According to BlackDuck’s recent survey*, over three-quarters of all enterprises run on some form of open source software. Many use open source within their mission-critical IT portfolios, whether they know it or not - and open source languages are a major component of this open source usage.
However, unsupported open source is often insufficient for SMB-to-large corporations in today’s multi-faceted and complicated technology landscape. Many enterprises remain wary of open source, citing multi-platform support, indemnification, legacy versions, and commercial support as critical to their software success. ActiveState will be building for support both community users and enterprises with the introduction of ActiveRuby, ActiveNode, ActiveGo, and ActiveLua. These new languages are in addition to ActiveState’s popular ActivePerl, ActivePython, and ActiveTcl.
Join ActiveState CEO Bart Copeland and Director of Engineering Tom Radcliffe on November 17th as they discuss these enterprise needs and how ActiveState’s newest open source enterprise language distributions for Ruby, Node.js, Go, and Lua will help enterprises remain agile, innovative, and secure.

- Use cases for Tcl
- What the future holds for Tcl, including the latest features like TclOO
PERL SURVEY 2016
Earlier this year we sent out an on-line survey to our ActivePerl downloaders. A little over 350 users responded and shared insights into how long they've been using Perl as well as how they are using it. While some results were expected (such as over half of those respondents being in a developer role), one of the more unexpected results that caught our eye was how long people had been using Perl.

Python: The Programmer's Lingua Franca
There are thousands of programming languages, but even if your organization works in one of the more popular languages, it's likely you will eventually interact with others who are unfamiliar with it. Since you can't be proficient in every programming language under the sun, a language that bridges technologies and allows people to communicate their ideas is needed.
A few programming languages have tried to fill this role over the years, but none holds as much promise as Python.
Looking Ahead to Tcl 8.6
ActiveTcl 8.5 has become the standard on which people build their Tcl applications, but Tcl 8.6 is just around the corner. Currently in beta, Tcl 8.6 is expected to have a final release in 2011. What new tricks will 8.6 pull out of the hat? Should you start using Tcl 8.6 soon? Join us on January 26, 2011 and find out.
Our resident Tcl expert Jeff Hobbs, Director of Engineering at ActiveState and long-time Tcl community leader and member of the Tcl Core Team, provides an overview of the major features in Tcl 8.6, including Tk. Starting with a new core OO system, going through improvements to string and list handling, and caps it off with lots of extras, this webinar covers the major changes in Tcl 8.6 and how to take advantage of them.

Open source programming languages such as Perl and Python have the highest instance of open source use in an organization at 57% according to a recent Forrester Research survey conducted with Dr. Dobb's readers. As dynamic languages presence and importance increases, organizations will rely more on enterprise-ready dynamic languages to create higher quality products, to take products to market quicker and to conserve development time and costs for core competencies.
Python & Finance: US Government Mandates, Financial Modeling, and Other Snake...
Recently, the US SEC published a proposal for how to address the current lack of transparency of asset-backed securities through changing disclosure requirements to include the provision of a Python computer program. The goal is to capture all the complicated terms of the deal in code that can be used to analyze the cash flows in each deal and how the returns will get split up between different parties. Currently, investors, fund managers, and investment managers receive a complex, textual description of this information in the prospectus, which makes it difficult for them to perform or visualize a rigorous quantitative or if-then analysis of the asset-backed securities.
This all begs the question “Why Python?” One of the answers is that it’s open source and while there are a number of proprietary financial modeling solutions and more than a few trade description languages in use on Wall Street – there is little use asking for openness and transparency from issuers if the interpreter for that code is proprietary in nature. That said, Python has other aspects that make it a good choice for these purposes and has been widely used on Wall Street and in the finance community for financial modeling and number crunching.
At the very least, it’s not enough to have open data, one has to have open tools to fulfill the transparency requirements to establish meaningful use of financial information. Buyers, Sellers and Regulators alike need an open technology means to accurately and efficiently interpret financial information.
This presentation will discuss some of the aspects of Python that make it a good fit for the SEC’s proposal and some of the challenges and the implications of using Python for financial analysis. This presentation will also discuss some opportunities for collaboration between regulators and the open source related to the development of an ecosystem of open source projects that can exploit the availability of this proposed new rich source of financial information.

The True Cost of Open Source Software: Uncovering Hidden Costs and Maximizing...
If you have researched open source software, even just a little, you’ve likely
encountered two distinct worldviews: believers and skeptics. Believers celebrate open source as free, collaborative code. In this paradigm, open source software isn’t just a free licensing model; it is a movement for building better, more flexible software.
But, that’s just one side of the story. Open source skeptics raise compelling counterarguments for why open source software and the enterprise don’t mix.
So, where does this leave you, especially if you are tasked with deciding whether or
not to implement open source software in your organization? In this paper we’ll delve
deep into both arguments and provide practical tools to help you decide whether or
not open source software will be a good return on your company’s investment. We’ll
also present solutions for bridging the gap between “believers” and “skeptics” in your
organization, and for reducing risks that go hand-in-hand with running open source
software in the enterprise.
Is Outsourcing the Answer in an Economic Downturn? Outsourcing Support for Op...
It’s no surprise that outsourcing is on the rise, especially in the finance sector that was
hit so hard by last year’s economic meltdown. Financial organizations are tightening their belts by sending more work outside company walls. In the last quarter of 2008,
the combined value of outsourcing contracts in the finance sector reached a whopping
$3.6 billion.1 The lion’s share of those contracts went to IT projects, according to
Information Age. Analyst firm IDC predicts that banks will continue to trim IT costs in
2009 by outsourcing more IT.2
License to Code: Indemnifying Your Business Against Open Source Licensing Lia...
Not long ago, open source software in the enterprise was a contentious topic. Conference panels and industry experts questioned the integrity of mixing open source with commercial and proprietary code. Would it unlock a pandora’s box of developer pain and sub-par software? Amidst the heated debate, open source tiptoed its way into the business of large-scale software development and settled in to stay.
Unveiling the Origins, Myths, Use and Benefits of Dynamic Languages
Dynamic languages are high-level, dynamically typed open source languages. These languages, designed to solve the problems that programmers of all abilities face in building and integrating heterogeneous systems, have proven themselves both despite and thanks to their independence from corporate platform strategies, relying instead on grassroots development and support. Ideally suited to building loosely coupled systems that adapt to changing requirements, they form the foundation of myriad programming projects, from the birth of the web to tomorrow’s challenges.

COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
Beyond Event Sourcing - Embracing CRUD for Wix Platform - Java.IL
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Beyond Event Sourcing - Embracing CRUD for Wix Platform - Java.IL
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.
