Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Without All the Bullshit (2015)
I love Markov chains! But, I too don't like "terminology, notation, and style of writing in statistics"... so, I built a simple "Rosetta Stone" (Python <> Swift) library implementation of Markov chains here: https://github.com/maxhumber/marc
-
I built two Markov chain libraries to showcase the differences between packaging in Python vs. Swift (Spoiler: While Python is great we all know the packaging experience isn't the best...)
But, frustratingly, I originally had a blank __init__.py here, and the tests were working on the build server... but when you installed the package with pip install -U marc from PyPI, it wouldn't be able to import until I added in the from .marc import MarkovChain
- Markov chains implemented and packaged in Swift vs. Python
- Show HN: marc – Markov chain generator for Python and/or Swift
What are some alternatives?
When comparing xeger and marc you can also consider the following projects:
EXREX - Irregular methods on regular expressions
python-ulid - ULID implementation for Python
ulid - Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier (ULID) in Python 3
