Main reason is that the quantum computing/scientific research user base is still very Python entrenched

> Neat. XLA predates MLIR. Interesting stories there. You'd have to stop by the Bay Area LLVM monthly meetup to hear them. :-X
I would love to hear those stories! Sadly I'm based in Toronto, so dropping by the Bay Area meetups isn't in the cards anytime soon.
If any of that history ever makes it into a blog post, I'd be first in line to read it.

I wonder if this is more connected to the rise of the internet and information transfer. Even with written recipes, there was still a massive amount of variation across regions and publications (see carbonara)

> Can I ask you about the calamansi? Filipinos tend to prefer them ripening (never fully ripe), but it looks like the unripe ones are more common in malay cuisine? Your recreation seem to have used store-bought juice?
I'm pretty sure I typically see them fully green when in Singapore, but not 100% sure.
I tend to alternate between using calamansi (if I manage to find them), or instead the bottled calamansi extract (which still works pretty well!).
> Did Rose's version not have the calamansi?
By Rose's version are you referring to https://www.jewishfoodsociety.org/stories/the-flavors-of-ira... ?
If I recall, it doesn't include calamansi but instead lemon juice, I'm not sure if this is an ingredient substitution or not. I've tried making it with lemon juice, but it just misses the exact flavour profile I remember from my childhood.
> The garnishing, was that cilantro?
Yep, that is cilantro (I just happened to have some on hand).
> like bamia kambing (close to the original,lamb; Indian version would add yoghurt), nonya okra stew (Chinese,adding tamarind like you mentioned, different spices)
Thanks for mentioning these! I'm not too familiar with them, but would be keen to try them.

The interesting thing is, for a long time I didn't really think about it. I never thought about why I never saw this dish outside of my families dinner table as a kid, and later when I was an adult, I never really questioned what this oddly familiar but distant stew was in middle eastern restaurants.
It was only when I moved out of home and decided to try and recreate it I realized how unique it was!
Makes me wonder how many other similar stories exist in other peoples homes.

For those interested in compilers/LLVM/MLIR, the underlying compiler (Catalyst) may also be interesting: https://github.com/pennylaneai/catalyst
