Its also for general programming.

What do you think about Julia?

Julia

Looking forward. I was about to embark with python on a new long term project, but I might delay that pending the new blog post. If possible do you have a guestimate on what sort o…

Type unstable Julia is often slower than python.

Actually no. Naive Julia is often slower than python. Vectorized Array expressions are on par with numpy and slower than numba. "type unstable", IO and text processing code is also…

Very glad to hear that. Anywhere roadmap/ central place where I can contribute and follow progress?

Thanks. The link seemed still to be single inheritance focus (sorry, I don't know the right terminology I come from a OO background.) but I could be wrong. Though I did get the sen…

User defined types/classes are currently being worked on in an open PR. Excellent counterpoint for the time being, though. Aside- Do you know if multiple inheritance/traits will ha…

no its not. Rcpp is cpp syntax and semantics. Look at the Numba example..its pure python with one decorator.

Julia also requires subsets of the language. Try writing rolled array expressions (in a loop or otherwise) in Julia and in Numba and see which one is faster. Also try IO or text pr…

Right now, numba is a better compiler than Julia has. You can write array expressions and loops in numba and it will do fusion/deforestation to eliminate temporaries giving you fas…

The dev team is pretty responsive and prioritize adding features based on bug reports like this. Can you open an issue? https://github.com/numba/numba

Or you can use Numba to write gil free imperative code as well.

You mean IRLS or SGD or something like that?

Any tidbits about whats in store for the stats ecosystem? Tidyr/Dplyr style workflow? Flexible and Generalized stats MLE/ Bayesian modeling using distributions? Streaming and out o…

Or you can use numba and with pure python syntax and get really fast.

Actually I'm waiting for 3 based....

"many of the cons in the language will be solved" Can you elaborate on this? Re type system, how does it compare to python in use?
