> Don't get me wrong, I love Julia and actually get paid to code in Julia, and it's a real joy of a programming language to work in (I'd put it close to ruby in terms of programmer satisfaction)... Just think that overblowing speed claims is counterproductive.
Whoa! Who is using Julia in production? I'm a data scientist in a large corp that has successfully converted folks to Python, and would love to use Julia for my custom stuff!
I wouldn't call it 'production'. I'm prototyping experimental number systems for high-performance computing and my supervisor has been doing it in mathematica to date, which is so glacial it's unacceptable. Took hours to do a calculation that julia can do in seconds.
