Yes, also the mentioned example's speedup (from TFA) was likely at least partially from the accessibility of Julia, making some ancillary optimization easier or almost accidental. You don't need to beat Fortran "at fortran'ing" (the innermost column oriented processing) to be overall faster. I am imagining without evidence.
- eigenspace 5y agoWhile it certainly won’t always win, there are many documented cases where Julia beats Fortran at Fortranning, e.g. https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/simple-summation-8x-slower-than-in-julia/1171 https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/simple-summation-8x-s... https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-just-decided-to-migrate-from-python-fortran-to-julia-as-julia-was-faster-in-my-test/61188 https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-just-decided-to-migrate-...
