I recently ported Norvig's Solve Every Sudoku Puzzle <http://norvig.com/sudoku.html> to Julia: https://github.com/hayd/Sudoku.jl
Some simple benchmarks suggest my Julia implementation solves around 20% slower* than the Python version, and 3 times faster than the implementation on JuMP (vendorized from the latest release), against the random puzzles. I tried to include the solver from attractivechaos/plb <https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb/tree/master/sudoku> but couldn't get it working for comparison... I'm new to Julia so would love to hear people's thoughts / any performance tips! I've not delved too deeply into the Profile, but @time suggests 10% of time is GC. **I'm sure I've lost some performance in translation which could be easily sped up...* Best, Andy
