0:00.0	Remember back in math class when you take a test?
0:02.6	It wasn't enough to just write down the answer.
0:05.4	What's the limit of that infinite summation?
0:07.5	Pire over two.
0:08.6	Yes, but how did you get to that number?
0:11.3	Some problems in programming are just like this.
0:13.6	We want to keep track of the computations done
0:15.8	and only add more steps to the results.
0:19.1	Heck, that's basically the entire premise of functional programming.
0:22.6	On this episode, you'll meet Christopher Areza, who created a project called Static Frame.
0:27.3	Think of it like pandas and numpy, but it never changes the computations it's already performed.
0:32.9	It just adds to them.
0:34.3	This is Talk Python, episode 204 recorded February 7th, 2019. Welcome to Talk Python to Me, a weekly podcast on Python, the language, the libraries, the ecosystem, and the personalities.
0:59.3	This is your host, Michael Kennedy. Follow me on Twitter where I'm at M. Kennedy. Keep up with a show and listen to past episodes at TalkPython.fm. And follow the show on Twitter via At Talk Python.
1:09.9	Chris, welcome to Talk Python. Hi, Michael.
1:11.6	Glad to be on the show.
1:12.6	Yeah, it's great to have you on the show.
1:13.6	You have a really interesting library that you've been working on.
1:17.6	And it's an interesting sort of data safe take on the whole Pandas API,
1:22.6	which I think is going to be a lot of fun for all the data scientists and other people working with pandas out there.
1:28.0	Great.
1:28.3	I look forward to talking about it.
