The Hidden Path to Turing.jl v1.0
Penelope Yong
Turing.jl, a probabilistic programming language, has been undergoing rapid development towards a v1.0 release.
Many new features, fixes, and improvements will have been visible to users — but arguably the most important things I've learnt are not about code!
In this talk I'll reflect on what it’s really like to work on open source software, contextualised throughout with recent examples from Turing.jl’s codebase.
