Julia is an amazing language and anyone who loves computers and/or science should be trying it right now.

Long blog/rant about programming languages and more, written by a Julia user looking for philosophically sound arguments to why you should try #julialang out.

Good thing I did not ever "Give Up On Julia"™! So happy to see numerical programming breaking new grounds like this
Julia 1.0 was released a couple of months ago, and I decided to run a benchmark of my own to get to know it better, acquire an understanding of its performance, and also explicitly test if it really can meet that legendary C performance.

I was quite well impressed, Julia really seems to be able to deliver a great performance. I wrote this blog to share my impressed findings with the community, and I would love to hear comments. Are there any omissions in this experiment, especially regarding the non-fastmath C compilations? I would also be curious to hear reports from other people reproducing this experiment in their machines.
