This episode of Inspiring Computing features a discussion with Athan, the maintainer of stdlib, a JavaScript library designed for numerical and scientific computing. Athan shares his experience and his career journey, starting from a non-computer science background through his PhD program at Oxford and eventually leading to his passion for open-source development.
He explains the unique benefits and challenges of building scientific computing tools for the web, emphasizing the powerful capabilities of JavaScript when written correctly. Athan also discusses the importance of standardizing arrays, the evolution of web technologies, and the collaborative efforts required to make projects such as stdlib.io successful.
This episode highlights industry use cases, potential applications, and the ongoing efforts to attract contributors and to fund open-source initiatives.
