So, you obtained a 5x speedup of the whole package compared to the Python version with some Fortran extensions?

Yes.

And for anyone wondering about the state of the Julia package ecosystem compared to Python, someone had already written the main two packages we needed in Julia (for Mittag-Leffler computation and Inverse Laplace computation). At that time there was no Mittag-Leffler implemented in Python or SciPy that I could find.

I could also add that we were computing integral equations with Mittag-Leffler function in the Kernels so in worst cases we needed O(n^2) calls to Mittag-Leffler function where n could be O(10^5).
