I wonder why this is desirable. A type instability in the array type is unlikely to be of much concern, because the cost of array operations will wildly overshadow the cost of a dynamic dispatch. Once the array passes a function barrier, its eltype becomes inferrable. A type instability in a

Thanks Femto Trader for bumping this. I took a quick look at Quantlib (and Ito) and I have to say, their numerical methods are very rudimentary (in fact, one of their methods for stochastic processes, EndPointEuler, doesn't have finite moments for its error due to KPS 1994...). For anything

You can add export JULIA_PKGDIR=C:/Users/you/.julia to then end of your .bashrc file in Cygwin. For git, check the order of things in ENV["PATH"] run(`which -a git`) from inside Julia. If the git that's part of Julia comes before Cygwin's /usr/bin/git, I think you should be okay. On

When you run a login terminal in Julia, your HOME is set differently than outside of Cygwin. You could set the environment variable JULIA_PKGDIR to your normal package directory. Note that if you're using Julia 0.4, you should avoid having Cygwin's git in your path, or have it later than the

There is a bit of a conflict between elementwise operations and broadcast (both rely on promote_op). There has been issues on the past where people wanted things like 1 .+ Number[1, 2, 3] == Number[2, 3, 4] to work. The current behaviour is consistent with this, which is, if you start with a

That benchmark doesn't say what they were using for "normal backends" - was it openblas or atlas or the reference blas, which set of kernels, were they using multithreading, etc. The open source Julia build will almost certainly have faster FFT's than SciPy without MKL, since Julia uses FFTW
