[julia-users] Re: When are @generated functions useful?

[Steven G. Johnson]

There is also an example in Jeff's thesis 
(https://github.com/JeffBezanson/phdthesis/blob/master/main.pdf) section 
5.7, using generated functions for matrix assembly in boundary element 
methods, where specialized integration methods can be invoked at compile 
time based on information encoded in the types, to avoid a runtime penalty.
