No, the point of the article was to write Python code that is as fast as the Julia code. I don't know why the Julia programmers chose to use such a poor algorithm: maybe they are show-casing just how amazingly awesome the Julia compiler is that it can even make a rubbish algorithm run fast. I don't care -- they can choose whatever algorithm they like for their Julia code, but I don't really care how good the language is at running bad code that I would never use in real life. -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
