Are there large speed improvements from the previous version?
- 3JPLW 10y agoYes, in many areas: * Higher order functions now specialize on (and possibly even inline!) passed functions * Anonymous functions are now fast, too * Fused broadcasting can avoid intermediate allocations and only make one pass through the array * User-extensible bounds checks allow custom array types to opt-in to skipping bounds checking, enabling SIMD-ification of some for loops That said, compilation times may take a bit longer due to the LLVM upgrade… but this resulted in an even stronger push towards better performance in many other areas.
