First of all I want to say that you are doing an excellent job. I program in Fortran and python but I'm keeping an eye on Julia, I haven't decided to switch yet. I'm not afraid to learn a new language, so I may do it in the future. Python is slow, but most of the time I use vectorized

Pay attention as real*8 is not standard Fortran but just a quite common extension accepted by most compilers. :-) Il giorno sabato 30 maggio 2015 21:10:39 UTC+2, Andre Bieler ha scritto: Ok so I have a few simple examples working for ccalling fortran functions and subroutines from Julia.

When you pass a string to a Fortran routine you should also pass the length of the string (tipically as an integer passed by value as the last element). The latest C interoperability features of Fortran will give you a more safe and portable way to do it consistently. :-) Il giorno lunedì

Thanks everybody, we have to wait for the 0.4 release! when is this release foreseen?

2015-01-10 Thread Edmondo Giovannozzi
Dear all, I was comparing the speed of Julia versus other languages (like Python or Fortran). As a test case I decided to check the speed when a function is passed to another one (for an example in a Ode solver). This is just a test case for situations that can arise, I know that there are
