Hi, i'm new to Julia and wrote a baseline implementation of word count, that counts words, and writes them to stdout sorted by counts (highest first), and when tie, using alphabetical order. My code is here: https://github.com/juditacs/wordcount/blob/master/julia/wordcount.jl
Half of the time is spent if secondary sorting is used (for alphabetical order), this is the first bottleneck. But string addition to the dict is quite slow. The python/cpp implementation runs for about 20-25 seconds while this implementation runs for 80 seconds. Can you give me some hints on why this implementation is slow? Thank you! Attila
