This program is a simple implementation of the merge sort algorithm to sort an array of integers. It generates a random array of size 10 with values between 0 and 100 using the random_array method.

Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

Chunked arrays are common in Pyarrow, since Tables are build on chunked arrays. Working with the underlying data requires combining chunks. Combining chunks is surprisingly slow. In my application, I ...
