I disagree; it may be hard to do _better_, but it's not usually hard to compete. At least in my own tests, I'm mildly offended :-) when Matlab gets within a factor of 2 of my own Julia code, even when I know Matlab is doing much/all of the work in C. See a recent example: https://github.com/timholy/Images.jl/issues/69#issuecomment-56296037. --Tim
