What must I do to make you remove that little green dot, Element? I've scrolled through all 41 replies in the thread… I've clicked on most of them… What... Must... I... DO?!?

A number of us on the Chapel project have been enjoying our interactions on BlueSky these past few months, so we have kicked off a new @chapellanguage.bsky.social account to reflect that. Follow the project there, and thanks to all who make BlueSky a great forum for #HPC conversations!

ICYMI in the run-up to SC24, be sure to give Chapel’s fall newsletter a look. In editing it, Engin's been doing a great job of pulling together information about recent demos, tutorials, talks, and recordings; our new Discord server; upcoming events; and more!

At #SC24 and interested in software productivity for #HPC? Be sure to swing by the HPE booth (#2219) to hear from members of our dev team about:
* Arkouda: a framework for driving HPC computations interactively from Python + Jupyter notebooks
* Chapel: a Pythonic language delivering HPC performance

Jeremiah Corrado has been porting key steps of the @labarba.bsky.social group's Navier-Stokes series into Chapel. This week, he published his final article in the series. It's a fun read for those interested in stencil-style HPC computations and MPI alternatives.
