Description
The formulate Python package was released in 2018 aimed to be a translation tool between the C++ expressions used ROOT and the Python counterparts used in the Scikit-HEP ecosystem. It worked well for simple expressions, but had serious performance issues when expressions were lengthy and complex. Last year, there was an effort to rewrite the package from scratch to solve these performance issues. The first "stable" version 1.0.0 was released, but it had to be yanked due to various parsing issues and inconsistencies. In this talk, I will present about my work fixing this newer version and the heavy refactoring I have done to fix and simplify the code. I will briefly showcase the NEW v1.0 working properly, and mention plans to use this package in other parts of the Scikit-HEP ecosystem.
