@Mauro, I am using the dmg located at https://s3.amazonaws.com/julialang/bin/osx/x64/0.4/julia-0.4.3-osx10.7+.dmg My timings using your code is .330s vs .1s for numpy.
I would be happy if one told me that Julia has not caught yet, but the fact that you have a speedup is troubling. I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), on osx 10.11 Thank you for your help,
